Description

The Java language and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) were designed to be free from the most problematic common security vulnerabilities experienced in other languages, like C/C++. Yet, software developers and architects should not only know how to use the various security features of the Java environment (positive security), but should also be aware of the numerous vulnerabilities that are still relevant for Java development (negative security).

The introduction of security services is preceded with a brief overview of the foundations of cryptography, providing a common baseline for understanding the purpose and the operation of the applicable components. The use of these components is presented through several practical exercises, where participants can try out the discussed APIs for themselves.

The course also goes through and explains the most frequent and severe programming flaws of the Java language and platform, covering both the typical bugs committed by Java programmers and the language- and environment-specific issues. All vulnerabilities and the relevant attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by the recommended coding guidelines and the possible mitigation techniques.

For programmers of all experience levels, possessing a solid grasp of .NET and ASP.NET security features is not enough. It is crucial to develop a profound understanding of web-related vulnerabilities on both the server and client sides, along with the implications of various risks.

This course demonstrates general web-based vulnerabilities by showcasing relevant attacks, while explaining recommended coding techniques and mitigation methods within the context of ASP.NET. A particular emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing the security challenges associated with JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

The curriculum also covers the security architecture and components of the .NET framework, including code-based and role-based access control, permission declaration and checking mechanisms, and the transparency model. A concise introduction to the foundations of cryptography establishes a practical baseline for understanding the purpose and operation of various algorithms, paving the way for exploring the cryptographic features available in .NET.

The course addresses different security bugs by following well-established vulnerability categories. These include input validation, security features, error handling, time- and state-related issues, general code quality concerns, and a dedicated section on ASP.NET-specific vulnerabilities. These topics are rounded out with an overview of testing tools capable of automatically uncovering some of the vulnerabilities discussed.

Protecting web-accessible applications demands security professionals who are thoroughly prepared and continuously aware of current attack vectors and trends. A wide array of technologies and environments supports the comfortable development of web applications. It is essential to be cognisant not only of security issues specific to these platforms but also of general vulnerabilities that apply irrespective of the development tools used.

This course provides an overview of applicable security solutions for web applications, with a special emphasis on understanding key cryptographic mechanisms. Various web application vulnerabilities are presented for both server-side (following the OWASP Top Ten) and client-side contexts, demonstrated through relevant attacks, and followed by recommended coding techniques and mitigation methods to avoid these issues. The topic of secure coding is concluded by discussing typical security-related programming errors, particularly regarding input validation, improper use of security features, and code quality.

Testing plays a critical role in ensuring the security and robustness of web applications. Various approaches – from high-level auditing and penetration testing to ethical hacking – can be employed to identify vulnerabilities of different types. However, to move beyond easily discoverable low-hanging fruit, security testing must be well-planned and properly executed. Remember: security testers should ideally find all bugs to protect a system, whereas adversaries need only find one exploitable vulnerability to gain access.

Practical exercises will aid in understanding web application vulnerabilities, programming mistakes, and, most importantly, mitigation techniques. Through hands-on trials with various testing tools – ranging from security scanners, sniffers, and proxy servers to fuzzing tools and static source code analyzers – this course delivers the essential practical skills that can be applied in the workplace the very next day.
