Even seasoned programmers often overlook the full spectrum of security services provided by their development platforms and remain uninformed about 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 modern internet-based threats.

The curriculum guides learners through the layers of Java security architecture by exploring access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. Additionally, it introduces key APIs for securing PHP code, such as OpenSSL for cryptographic operations 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 regarding JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5 vulnerabilities.

General web vulnerabilities are examined through examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, covering injection attacks, script injections, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The course also introduces Java- and PHP-specific language problems and issues arising from the runtime environment, 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 have the opportunity to experiment with the discussed APIs, tools, and configuration effects firsthand. Each introduction to vulnerabilities is supported by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to rectify bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

Developers

This course equips PHP developers with the vital skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern internet-based threats. Participants will explore web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples that extend beyond the OWASP Top Ten list. The curriculum covers a wide range of attack vectors, including various injection attacks, script injections, weaknesses in PHP session handling, insecure direct object references, and file upload issues. PHP-related vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types such as missing or inadequate input validation, improper error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-dependent issues. Specific advanced attacks discussed include open_basedir bypass, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. In every scenario, participants will master the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A dedicated focus is placed on client-side security, addressing issues within JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces essential PHP security extensions, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for robust input validation. Best practices for hardening the environment are covered, including PHP configuration (php.ini settings), Apache server configurations, and general server security. Finally, the course provides an overview of various security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the introduction of vulnerabilities and the configuration guidelines are reinforced through hands-on exercises. These activities demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, illustrate the application of mitigation strategies, and introduce the practical use of various extensions and security tools.
