This three-day course provides an introduction to safeguarding C/C++ code against malicious actors who might exploit vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling. The training focuses on the core principles of developing secure code.

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.

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.

Upon gaining familiarity with vulnerabilities and attack vectors, participants will explore the general approach and methodology for security testing, along with the techniques used to uncover specific weaknesses. The process begins with information gathering regarding the system under evaluation (ToC), followed by comprehensive threat modeling to identify and prioritise all threats, ultimately leading to a risk analysis-driven test plan.

Security assessments occur at various stages of the SDLC. We examine design reviews, code reviews, reconnaissance, and information gathering about the system, as well as testing the implementation and hardening the environment for secure deployment. Detailed introductions are provided for various security testing techniques, including taint analysis, heuristic-based code review, static code analysis, dynamic web vulnerability testing, and fuzzing. Participants are introduced to a range of tools designed to automate the security evaluation of software products. This theoretical knowledge is reinforced through practical exercises where these tools are used to analyse previously discussed vulnerable code. Real-world case studies further aid in understanding diverse vulnerability types.

This course equips testers and QA staff with the ability to effectively plan and execute security tests, select and utilise appropriate tools and techniques to detect even concealed security flaws, and acquire essential practical skills applicable from the very next working day.

Description:

This course provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of security principles, web application concepts, and the frameworks developers utilise. This knowledge enables them to effectively exploit and secure targeted applications. In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, web applications face constant exposure to hacker attacks around the clock. To safeguard applications against external threats, one must thoroughly understand the components that constitute a web application, including its frameworks, programming languages, and underlying technologies. The challenge lies in the asymmetry of knowledge: an attacker needs to find only one vulnerability to succeed, whereas developers and systems administrators must anticipate all possible exploitation vectors. Consequently, achieving absolute security for web applications is extremely difficult, and vulnerabilities are commonly found. These weaknesses are frequently exploited by both cybercriminals and opportunistic hackers, but the risk can be mitigated through rigorous planning, secure development practices, thorough testing, and proper configuration.

Objectives:

The primary goal is to equip participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to identify and exploit potential vulnerabilities in live web applications. By gaining expertise during the identification and exploitation phases, participants will learn how to defend web applications against similar threats. Upon completion, participants will be able to comprehend and identify the top 10 OWASP vulnerabilities and integrate this knowledge into their web application security strategies.

Audience:

Developers, law enforcement officers, defence and military personnel, e-Business security professionals, systems administrators, banking and insurance sector professionals, government agency staff, IT managers, CISOs, and CTOs.
