Jim Manico: Building Secure APIs and Web Applications

The major cause of webservice  and web application insecurity is insecure software development practices. This highly intensive and interactive Masterclass provides essential application security training for web application and webservices developers and architects. The class is a combination of lecture, security testing demonstration and code review. Students will learn the most common threats against applications. More importantly, students will learn how to code secure web solutions via defense-based code samples. 

As part of this course, we will explore the use of third-party security libraries and frameworks to speed and standardise secure development. We will highlight production quality and scalable controls from various languages and frameworks. This Masterclass will include secure coding information for Java, PHP, Python, Javascript and .NET programmers, but any software developer building web applications and webservices will benefit. 

 

Interesting for:

Java, PHP, Python, Javascript and .NET programmers, but any software developer building web applications and webservices will benefit.

Agenda: Day 2 | Focus on API secure coding, identity & other advanced topics

  • We will have three different lab environments for students to choose from
  • OAuth to Security
  • HTTPS/TLS Best Practices
  • Third-party Library Security Managment
  • Application Layer Intrusion Detection

 

Agenda: Day 3 | Labs & Exercises

We will have three different lab environments for students to choose from:

  • Lab 1 will be a classic web application CTF hacking competition. This is older tech in a near lab setup for folks who are new to web hacking. This is a great platform for beginners.
  • Lab 2 will be a MEAN stack application that is more challenging to hack. This is a great lab platform for more advanced testers.
  • Lab 3 will be a secure coding CTF. This is a professional platform for developer to test their secure coding skills.

 

Prerequisites:

  • Familiarity with the technical details of building web applications and webservices from a software engineering point view. 
  • Any laptop that can run an updated web browser and "Burp Community Edition".
