Combined JAVA, PHP and Web Application Security
28 HoursEven seasoned programmers do not necessarily master all the security services provided by their development platforms, nor are they always aware of the vulnerabilities pertinent to their projects. This course is designed for developers working with both Java and PHP, equipping them with the essential skills needed to fortify their applications against contemporary Internet-based attacks.
Java security architecture levels are explored through practical topics such as access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. The course also introduces useful APIs for securing PHP code, such as OpenSSL for cryptography and 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. Additionally, there is a special focus on client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.
Common web vulnerabilities are discussed with examples aligned to the OWASP Top Ten, covering various injection attacks, cross-site scripting, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. Specific language problems in Java and PHP, as well as issues stemming from the runtime environment, are introduced and categorized into standard vulnerability types such as missing or improper input validation, misuse 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 configuration effects in a hands-on environment. Each introduction to vulnerabilities is supported by practical exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, showing how to fix bugs, apply mitigation techniques, and utilize various extensions and tools.
Participants attending this course will
- Understand the fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
- Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and know how to avoid them
