Even seasoned programmers do not always master the security services provided by their development platforms, nor are they fully aware of the vulnerabilities relevant to their projects. This course is designed for developers working with both Java and PHP, equipping them with the essential skills needed to make their applications resilient against modern internet-based attacks.

The course walks through the levels of Java security architecture by addressing access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. It also introduces various APIs that can be used to secure code in PHP, such as OpenSSL for cryptography or HTML Purifier for input validation. On the server side, best practices are provided for hardening and configuring the operating system, web container, file system, SQL server, and PHP itself, with a special focus on client-side security through issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

General web vulnerabilities are discussed using examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, illustrating various injection attacks, script injections, attacks against session handling, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and many others. The course introduces Java- and PHP-specific language problems and issues arising from the runtime environment, grouped into standard vulnerability types such as missing or improper input validation, improper use of security features, incorrect error and exception handling, time- and state-related problems, code quality issues, and mobile code-related vulnerabilities.

Participants can experiment with the discussed APIs, tools, and the effects of configurations themselves. The introduction of vulnerabilities is supported by a number of hands-on exercises demonstrating the consequences of successful attacks, showing how to correct bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and introducing the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand the basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and know how to avoid them
• Learn about client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Learn to use various security features of the Java development environment

Developers

This course equips PHP developers with essential skills to protect their applications against modern Internet-based threats. It explores web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to address various injection attacks, script injections, session handling flaws, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-related vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types such as missing or improper input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- or state-related problems. Specific examples include open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service attacks via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. In each case, participants will learn key techniques and functions to mitigate these risks.

A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing vulnerabilities in JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces several PHP security extensions, including hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for input validation. Best practices for hardening are covered in the context of PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache, and general server settings. Additionally, the course provides an overview of security testing tools and techniques for developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the introduction of vulnerabilities and configuration practices are reinforced with hands-on exercises. These demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, show how to implement mitigation strategies, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Gain a solid understanding of security concepts, IT security, and secure coding principles
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and how to prevent them
• Understand client-side vulnerabilities and adopt secure coding practices
