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

Audience

Developers

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
