Combined JAVA, PHP and Web Application Security
28 HoursEven seasoned programmers often do not fully master the various security services provided by their development platforms, nor are they always aware of the vulnerabilities relevant to their projects. This course is designed for developers working with both Java and PHP, equipping them with the essential skills needed to make their applications resilient against modern internet-based attacks.
The course guides participants through the layers of Java security architecture by addressing access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. It also introduces several APIs available in PHP for securing code, such as OpenSSL for cryptography 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. Special attention is given to client-side security, focusing on security issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.
Common web vulnerabilities are discussed using examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, covering various injection attacks, script injections, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The course introduces Java- and PHP-specific language problems and issues arising from the runtime environment, categorized into standard vulnerability types such as missing or improper input validation, improper use of security features, incorrect error and exception handling, time- and state-related problems, code quality issues, and mobile code-related vulnerabilities.
Participants can experiment with the discussed APIs, tools, and configuration effects themselves. Each introduction to vulnerabilities is supported by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to correct bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.
Participants attending this course will
- Understand the fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
- Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and understand how to avoid them
- Learn about client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
- Learn to utilize various security features of the Java development environment
- Gain a practical understanding of cryptography

Secure coding in PHP
21 HoursThis course equips PHP developers with the essential skills required to fortify their applications against modern Internet-based threats. By using PHP-based examples that extend beyond the OWASP Top Ten, the curriculum covers a wide range of issues including various injection attacks, script injections, vulnerabilities in PHP session handling, insecure direct object references, file upload problems, 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 issues. Specific examples discussed include attacks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. Participants will become familiar with the key techniques and functions needed to mitigate these risks.
Special emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces several security-related PHP 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 covered in the context of PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache settings, and server management in general. Additionally, the course provides an overview of various security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing tools, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.
Both the introduction of vulnerabilities and configuration practices are reinforced with hands-on exercises. These exercises demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, show how to apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.
