Developers, Testers

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.
