Combined JAVA, PHP and Web Application Security
28 HoursEven seasoned developers do not always fully master the diverse security features offered by their development platforms, nor are they always aware of the various vulnerabilities relevant to their applications. This course is designed for developers working with both Java and PHP, equipping them with essential skills to build applications resilient against modern Internet-based attacks.
The Java security architecture is explored step by step, covering access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and a range of cryptographic functions. Several APIs are introduced that help secure PHP code, such as OpenSSL for encryption 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, with special emphasis on client-side security issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.
General web vulnerabilities are examined through examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, illustrating various injection attacks, script injections, session handling flaws, insecure direct object references, file upload vulnerabilities, and more. Java- and PHP-specific language issues arising from the runtime environment are introduced and categorized under standard vulnerability types, including 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 will have the opportunity to experiment with the discussed APIs, tools, and configuration effects firsthand. All vulnerability introductions are supported by practical exercises that demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, guide learners in correcting bugs and applying 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 prevent them

Secure coding in PHP
21 HoursThis course equips PHP developers with the essential skills required to harden their applications against contemporary internet-based threats. It explores web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to cover various injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-related vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types such as missing or incorrect input validation, improper error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related problems. Specific attacks discussed include open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. Participants will learn the key techniques and functions needed to mitigate these risks.
A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing vulnerabilities in JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces several PHP security 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-level settings. Additionally, the course offers an overview of various security testing tools and techniques, including security scanners, penetration testing, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.
Both the introduction of vulnerability concepts and configuration practices are reinforced with hands-on exercises. These exercises demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, guide participants on applying mitigation strategies, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.
