Implementing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously used various cryptographic building blocks (such as encryption and digital signatures). To help participants grasp the role and usage of these cryptographic primitives, the course first establishes a solid foundation on the main requirements of secure communication – secure acknowledgement, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity – while also presenting typical problems that can compromise these requirements along with real-world solutions.

As cryptography is a critical aspect of network security, the course discusses the most important cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Instead of presenting an in-depth mathematical background, these elements are discussed from a developer's perspective, showing typical use-case examples and practical considerations related to the use of crypto, such as public key infrastructures. Security protocols in many areas of secure communication are introduced, with an in-depth discussion on the most widely-used protocol families such as IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical crypto vulnerabilities are discussed both related to certain crypto algorithms and cryptographic protocols, such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE and similar, as well as the RSA timing attack. In each case, the practical considerations and potential consequences are described for each problem, again, without going into deep mathematical details.

Finally, as XML technology is central for data exchange by networked applications, the security aspects of XML are described. This includes the usage of XML within web services and SOAP messages alongside protection measures such as XML signature and XML encryption – as well as weaknesses in those protection measures and XML-specific security issues such as XML injection, XML external entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Developers, Professionals

Developing secure C and C++ code demands robust defenses against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This course explores vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will apply secure coding guidelines, static analysis tools, and defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and deliver hardened software resilient against cyberattacks.

Today, numerous programming languages can compile code for the .NET and ASP.NET frameworks. While this environment offers robust tools for security development, developers must understand how to apply programming techniques at both the architecture and coding levels. This knowledge is essential for implementing desired security features, avoiding vulnerabilities, and limiting potential exploitation.

This course aims to equip developers with the skills to prevent untrusted code from executing privileged actions, protect resources via strong authentication and authorization, manage remote procedure calls and sessions, and implement various functional alternatives. Through extensive hands-on exercises, participants will gain practical insights into these critical areas.

The discussion on vulnerabilities begins by examining common programming errors encountered when using .NET. The analysis of ASP.NET vulnerabilities further explores various environment settings and their impacts. Additionally, the course addresses ASP.NET-specific security challenges, including general web application security issues and specialized attack vectors such as ViewState manipulation and string termination attacks.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp the fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding practices
• Identify web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and learn strategies to avoid them

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.
