Implementing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously utilized various cryptographic building blocks (such as encryption and digital signatures). To help participants understand the role and usage of these cryptographic primitives, a solid foundation is first established regarding the main requirements of secure communication—secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. Additionally, typical problems that may compromise these requirements are presented alongside real-world solutions.

Since cryptography is a critical aspect of network security, this course discusses the most important cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than providing an in-depth mathematical background, these elements are examined from a developer's perspective, showcasing typical use-case examples and practical considerations related to cryptography, such as public key infrastructures. Security protocols across various areas of secure communication are introduced, with an in-depth discussion on widely-used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical crypto vulnerabilities are discussed concerning both certain cryptographic algorithms and protocols, including BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and others, as well as the RSA timing attack. For each case, practical considerations and potential consequences are described for every problem, again without delving into deep mathematical details.

Finally, since XML technology is central to data exchange by networked applications, the security aspects of XML are described. This includes the usage of XML within web services and SOAP messages, alongside protection measures such as XML signature and XML encryption. The course also covers weaknesses in these protection measures and XML-specific security issues like XML injection, XML external entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Developing secure C and C++ applications demands rigorous protection against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This program investigates vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will apply secure coding guidelines, leverage static analysis tools, and employ defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and deliver hardened software resilient against cyberattacks.

Even seasoned Java developers do not necessarily master all the security services provided by Java, nor are they fully aware of the various vulnerabilities that affect web applications written in Java.

This course covers not only the security components of Standard Java Edition but also addresses security challenges in Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. Before diving into specific services, the course establishes the foundations of cryptography and secure communication. A series of exercises explores both declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while the course examines transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants engage in practical exercises to apply the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also reviews and explains the most common and critical programming flaws in the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical errors made by Java programmers, the security vulnerabilities covered include both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and their associated attacks are demonstrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and mitigation strategies.

Today, numerous programming languages can compile code for the .NET and ASP.NET frameworks. This environment offers robust tools for security development; however, developers must understand how to apply architectural and coding-level techniques to implement desired security features, prevent vulnerabilities, or limit their exploitation.

This course aims to train developers through extensive hands-on exercises. Participants will learn how to prevent untrusted code from executing privileged actions, protect resources via strong authentication and authorization, manage remote procedure calls, handle sessions, and implement various functional alternatives, among other skills.

The introduction to different vulnerabilities begins by highlighting typical programming errors common in .NET development. The discussion on ASP.NET vulnerabilities covers various environment settings and their impact. Furthermore, the topic of ASP.NET-specific vulnerabilities addresses general web application security challenges as well as specific issues and attack methods, such as ViewState attacks and string termination exploits.

This course equips PHP developers with essential skills to make their applications resilient against modern internet-based attacks. Web vulnerabilities are explored through PHP-specific examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten list. Topics include various injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses in PHP, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, 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 problems. These latter issues are addressed through specific attack scenarios like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic float, and hash table collision attacks. In every case, participants will master the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

Special attention is devoted to client-side security, addressing JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5 vulnerabilities. The course introduces 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 PHP configurations (php.ini settings), Apache, and the server environment are provided. Additionally, an overview of various security testing tools and techniques is given, enabling developers and testers to utilize security scanners, penetration testing frameworks, exploit kits, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both vulnerability concepts and configuration practices are reinforced with hands-on exercises. These demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, show how to apply mitigation strategies, and guide participants in using various extensions and tools effectively.
