Even seasoned programmers do not necessarily master all the security features provided by their development platforms, nor are they always aware of the vulnerabilities relevant to their work. This course is designed for developers working with both Java and PHP, equipping them with the essential skills needed to make their applications resilient against modern internet-based attacks.

The curriculum walks through the layers of Java security architecture, addressing access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. It also introduces several APIs useful 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. Special attention is given to client-side security by examining security issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

General web vulnerabilities are discussed using examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, covering various injection attacks, script injections, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The course introduces Java- and PHP-specific language problems and runtime environment issues, grouped into standard vulnerability types such as missing or improper input validation, improper use 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 firsthand. The introduction of vulnerabilities is supported by numerous hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to correct bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand the basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and know how to avoid them
• Learn about client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Learn to use various security features of the Java development environment

This course equips PHP developers with the essential skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern internet-based threats. Web vulnerabilities are explored through PHP-specific examples that extend beyond the OWASP Top Ten, addressing various injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-related vulnerabilities are categorized into standard vulnerability types, including missing or improper input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related problems. The latter includes attacks such as open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. In all scenarios, participants will learn the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

Special attention is given to client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces several security-related PHP extensions, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for input validation. Best practices for hardening are provided in the context of PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache, and server administration generally. Finally, an overview of various security testing tools and techniques is offered for developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

The introduction of vulnerabilities and configuration practices is reinforced by hands-on exercises. These demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to 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
