PHP Patterns and Refactoring Training Course

This course provides essential skills for PHP developers to enhance the security of their applications against modern internet-based attacks. It covers web vulnerabilities through PHP-based examples, delving beyond the OWASP Top Ten to address various injection attacks, script injections, session handling issues, insecure direct object references, file upload problems, and more. Vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types such as missing or improper input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, improper use of security features, and time- and state-related issues. Specific topics include open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service through magic float, and hash table collision attacks. Participants will gain proficiency in the key techniques and functions necessary to mitigate these risks. The course also emphasizes client-side security, addressing JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5 vulnerabilities. It introduces several PHP security extensions, including hash, mcrypt, OpenSSL for cryptography, Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for input validation. Best practices for hardening PHP configuration (setting php.ini), Apache, and the server in general are discussed. An overview of security testing tools and techniques is provided, covering security scanners, penetration testing, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers. Both the introduction to vulnerabilities and configuration practices are supported by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, illustrate mitigation techniques, and introduce various extensions and tools. Participants attending this course will: - Understand basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding - Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond OWASP Top Ten and how to avoid them - Gain knowledge of client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices - Acquire a practical understanding of cryptography - Learn to use various security features of PHP - Identify typical coding mistakes and learn how to avoid them - Stay informed about recent vulnerabilities in the PHP framework - Gain practical experience with security testing tools - Receive sources and further readings on secure coding practices This course is designed for government developers who seek to enhance their application security skills.
