Web Application Security
Description
Companies and government organisations are regularly in the news because hackers have captured confidential data via a security hole in their website. Usually, security flaws such as cross-site scripting (XXS) and SQL Injection are responsible for this. These leaks are caused by poorly programmed web applications. This lecture explains which programming errors cause these leaks and how to prevent them. It will also address the question of why these kinds of security breaches keep popping up, while there is plenty of literature and code available that shows how they can be improved.
Finally, a (deliberately) leaking web application will be used to demonstrate how XXS and SQL injection attacks work and how hackers can use them to obtain personal data
