Even seasoned developers often fail to fully leverage the security services available within their development platforms or remain unaware of the specific vulnerabilities that threaten their projects. This course is tailored for developers working with both Java and PHP, equipping them with the critical skills needed to fortify their applications against modern internet-based threats.

The curriculum delves into the layers of Java security architecture, covering access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication protocols, and various cryptographic functions. It also introduces key APIs for enhancing PHP security, such as OpenSSL for cryptographic operations and HTML Purifier for input validation. On the server side, best practices for hardening and configuring the operating system, web containers, file systems, SQL servers, and the PHP environment itself are provided. Special attention is given to client-side security, addressing security challenges associated with JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

Common web vulnerabilities are explored through examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, illustrating various injection attacks, script injections, session handling flaws, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The course addresses language-specific problems in Java and PHP, as well as issues arising from the runtime environment, categorizing them into standard vulnerability types such as missing or improper input validation, misused security features, incorrect error and exception handling, time- and state-related problems, code quality deficiencies, and mobile code vulnerabilities.

Participants will have the opportunity to experiment with the discussed APIs, tools, and configuration effects. Each vulnerability introduction is supported by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, show how to fix bugs, apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding practices
• Understand web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and learn how to prevent them
• Identify client-side vulnerabilities and adopt secure coding practices
• Utilize the security features inherent in the Java development environment
• Develop a practical understanding of cryptography

This course equips PHP developers with the vital skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern internet-based threats. It explores web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples, going beyond the OWASP Top Ten to cover a wide range of injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload flaws, and more. PHP-specific vulnerabilities are categorized into common vulnerability types such as inadequate input validation, improper error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related issues. For the latter, we examine attacks such as open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. Throughout, participants will learn the key 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 essential PHP security extensions like Hash, Mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for robust input validation. Comprehensive hardening best practices are provided for PHP configuration (including php.ini settings), Apache, and the server environment at large. Additionally, an overview of various security testing tools and methodologies is offered for developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing tools, exploit kits, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the theoretical introduction of vulnerabilities and the configuration best practices are reinforced with numerous hands-on exercises. These demonstrate the real-world impact of successful attacks, illustrate how to apply mitigation strategies, and provide practical experience with various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Gain a solid understanding of fundamental security concepts, IT security, and secure coding principles
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and understand how to prevent them
