PHP Patterns and Refactoring Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Romania (available online or onsite) is designed for data scientists and software engineers who want to use AdaBoost to build boosting algorithms for machine learning with Python.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary development environment to start building machine learning models with AdaBoost.

Even seasoned developers often lack mastery over the security services provided by their development platforms and may remain unaware of the specific vulnerabilities affecting their projects. This course is designed for developers working with both Java and PHP, equipping them with the essential skills needed to build applications resilient against modern internet-based threats.

The course explores the layers of Java security architecture by addressing access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. It also introduces PHP APIs 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, with a particular emphasis on client-side security issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

General web vulnerabilities are discussed through examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, covering injection attacks, script injections, session handling flaws, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. Java- and PHP-specific language problems and runtime environment issues are categorized into standard vulnerability types, including 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 will have the opportunity to test the discussed APIs, tools, and configuration effects firsthand. The introduction of vulnerabilities is supported by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to fix bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and how to avoid them
• Gain knowledge of client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Learn to utilize various security features within the Java development environment
• Develop a practical understanding of cryptography
• Learn to use various security features of PHP
• Understand the security concepts of web services
• Acquire practical knowledge in using security testing tools
• Learn about common coding mistakes and how to avoid them
• Stay informed about recent vulnerabilities in Java and PHP frameworks and libraries
• Receive resources and further readings on secure coding practices

This course equips PHP developers with the critical skills needed to protect their applications from modern internet-based threats. Through PHP-based examples that extend beyond the OWASP Top Ten, the program covers various injection attacks, script injections, session handling vulnerabilities, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-specific 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. In the latter category, we examine attacks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. Participants will learn the essential techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces key 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 provided regarding PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache, and server settings generally. Additionally, an overview of security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers is presented, covering security scanners, penetration testing, exploit kits, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the explanation of vulnerabilities and the configuration practices are reinforced with hands-on exercises. These exercises demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, show how to implement mitigation strategies, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and understand how to avoid them
• Gain knowledge of client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Develop a practical understanding of cryptography
• Learn to utilize various PHP security features
• Identify typical coding mistakes and learn how to prevent them
• Stay informed about recent vulnerabilities in the PHP framework
• Acquire practical experience using security testing tools
• Access resources and further reading materials on secure coding practices

Numerous well-established design patterns are readily accessible to all. Often, the process involves adapting the nomenclature and applying the pattern within a specific technological context. This approach can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be dedicated to design and testing phases. Training Goals This course has two primary objectives: first, to enable you to leverage widely recognized patterns, and second, to empower you to create and reuse patterns tailored to your organization. It aids in estimating how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process, and generate a code framework based on your specific patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers, developers, operational managers, and software division managers. Course Style The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with a specific pattern. Most of the examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organization.
