Even seasoned programmers do not always master the full range of security services provided by their development platforms, nor are they fully aware of the vulnerabilities relevant to their specific projects. This course is designed for developers working with both Java and PHP, equipping them with essential skills to make their applications resilient against contemporary internet-based attacks.

The course guides participants through the layers of Java security architecture, addressing access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. It also introduces key PHP APIs, such as OpenSSL for cryptography and HTML Purifier for input validation, to help secure code. On the server side, best practices are provided for hardening and configuring the operating system, web container, file system, SQL server, and PHP itself. A special focus is placed on client-side security, covering security issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

General web vulnerabilities are discussed using examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, illustrating 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. Each introduction to vulnerabilities is supported by 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

Developers

This course equips PHP developers with the essential skills required to harden applications against modern internet-based threats. It explores web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples that extend beyond the OWASP Top Ten, addressing issues such as injection attacks, script injection, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload flaws, and more. The curriculum categorizes PHP-related vulnerabilities into standard types, including inadequate or missing input validation, improper error and exception handling, misused security features, and time- or state-related defects. Specific attack vectors discussed include open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service attacks via magic floats, and hash table collision exploits. Participants will master the critical techniques and functions needed to mitigate these risks.

A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, covering vulnerabilities in JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces key PHP extensions for cryptography, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL, as well as those for input validation, including Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier. Best practices for hardening are provided regarding PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache server settings, and general server administration. Additionally, the course offers an overview of various security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing utilities, exploit kits, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the vulnerability concepts and configuration guidelines are reinforced through hands-on exercises. These practical sessions demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, illustrate how to implement mitigation strategies, and guide the use of various extensions and tools.
