Combined JAVA, PHP and Web Application Security
28 HoursEven seasoned programmers do not necessarily master every security service provided by their development platforms, nor are they always fully 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 make their applications resilient against modern 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 APIs for securing PHP code, such as OpenSSL for cryptography and HTML Purifier for input validation. On the server side, best practices for hardening and configuring the operating system, web container, file system, SQL server, and PHP itself are provided. Special attention is given to client-side security, focusing on security issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.
General web vulnerabilities are discussed through examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, covering injection attacks, script injections, session handling flaws, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. Specific Java and PHP language problems, along with issues arising from the runtime environment, are introduced and grouped 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 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 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
- Have a practical understanding of cryptography
- Learn to use various security features of PHP
- Understand security concepts of Web services
- Get practical knowledge in using security testing tools
- Learn about typical coding mistakes and how to avoid them

Secure coding in PHP
21 HoursThis course equips PHP developers with the essential skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern internet-based threats. The curriculum explores web vulnerabilities through PHP-centric examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to cover a wide range of injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. These PHP-specific vulnerabilities are categorized into standard vulnerability types, such as missing or flawed input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related issues. For the latter category, the course examines attacks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic float, and hash table collision attacks. In each scenario, participants learn the critical 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 several PHP extensions, including hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptographic purposes, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for robust input validation. Best practices for hardening are provided in the context of PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache settings, and general server security. Additionally, the course offers a comprehensive overview of security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers, such as security scanners, penetration testing methodologies, exploit packs, packet sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.
The introduction of vulnerabilities and configuration practices is reinforced by numerous hands-on exercises. These exercises demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, illustrate how to implement mitigation strategies, and guide participants in utilizing various extensions and tools effectively.
By the end of this course, participants will
- Grasp the fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
