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

The course explores the layers of the Java security architecture by addressing access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. It also introduces key APIs that can be used to secure code in PHP, such as OpenSSL for cryptography and HTML Purifier for input validation. On the server side, it covers best practices for hardening and configuring the operating system, web container, file system, SQL server, and PHP itself, while placing special emphasis on client-side security by addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

General web vulnerabilities are discussed with examples aligned to the OWASP Top Ten, covering various injection attacks, cross-site scripting, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The course introduces Java- and PHP-specific language problems and issues arising from the runtime environment, grouping them 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 vulnerabilities related to mobile code.

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 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
• Learn about client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Learn to utilize various security features of the Java development environment

This course equips PHP developers with the essential skills needed to make their applications resilient against modern internet threats. It explores web vulnerabilities through PHP examples that go beyond the OWASP Top Ten, addressing various injection attacks, script injections, session handling issues, insecure direct object references, file upload vulnerabilities, and more. PHP-related 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 issues. For the latter, we examine attacks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic float, and hash table collision attacks. In each scenario, participants will learn the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

Particular emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces various PHP extensions for cryptography (such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL) and for input validation (including Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier). Best practices for hardening PHP configuration (php.ini settings), Apache, and the server environment are also covered. Additionally, participants will gain an overview of security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing tools, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the introduction of vulnerabilities and configuration practices are reinforced through hands-on exercises. These activities demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to apply mitigation techniques, and guide participants in using various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
