Training, December 1st

OWASP Training: Secure Application Development, by Eoin Keary

Abstract: Writing Secure code is the most effective method to securing your web applications. Writing secure code takes skill and know-how but results in a more stable and robust application and assists in protecting an organisations brand. Application security is not commonly a part of many computer science curricula today and most organizations have not focused on instituting a culture that includes application security as a core part of their software development training efforts. This intensive one-day course focuses on the most common web application security problems, including aspects of both the OWASP Top Ten (2010) and the MITRE Top 25. The course will introduce and demonstrate application assessment techniques, illustrating how application vulnerabilities can be exploited so students really understand how to avoid introducing such vulnerabilities in their code.

This course includes coverage of the following areas:

• Unvalidated Input
• Injection Flaws, OS commanding, SQL Injection
• Cross-Site Scriping & Client-side security
• CSRF/XSRF
• Authentication & Session Management
• Access control & Authorisation
• Broken Caching
• Error Handling & Resource Management
• The Secure SDLC
• Fuzzing, Proxy use and testing approach

Hands on Exercises

To cement the principles discussed, students can participate in a number of hands-on security testing exercises where they attack a live web application (i.e., OWASP Bank etc) that has been seeded with common web application vulnerabilities.

The students will use proxy tools commonly used by the hacker community to complete the exercises. Students need to bring their own windows based laptop to participate in the exercises. Wireless capability is recommended.

Audience

Developers who want to understand the most common web application security flaws, and how to avoid them and code in a secure manner.

Level: Beginner/Intermediate

Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of a web programming language like Java or .NET recommended but not required.

Bringing your own windows based laptop is recommended so you can participate in the hands on exercises

Trainer Bio:

Eoin Keary is a Global OWASP board member since 2009. He is a long time member of OWASP and have contributed year on year to OWASP projects and the OWASP mission of fighting the causes of software insecurity. He is based in Dublin, Ireland and director of Bccriskadvisory.

Conference, December 2nd

• Koen Vanderloock (Lead Security Competence Group at Cegeka) on the new OWASP Simba project
• Justin Clarke (Director and Co-Founder of Gotham Digital Science Ltd) on practical crypto attacks against web applications
• Lieven Desmet (Research Manager at University Leuven) on HTML5 security
• Andrey Belenko (Chief Security Researcher at ElcomSoft Co. Ltd) on iOS data protection internals

• Seba Deleersnyder & Eoin Keary (OWASP Board) on OWASP Update

Stay tuned for the final agenda!

HTML5 security (by Lieven Desmet, Research Manager at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven)

In this talk, Lieven will highlight the results of the HTML5 security analysis, conducted by the DistriNet Research Group (K.U.Leuven). The security analysis of next generation web standards, commissioned by ENISA, looked into 13 emerging W3C web standards (i.e. the specification of HTML 5 and some of the associated APIs), and assessed the security of each of them as well as the overall security and consistency across specifications.

In total 51 security threats and issues have been identified, and detailed in the ENISA report (http://www.enisa.europa.eu/html5). During the talk, Lieven will discuss the methodology developed to assess the huge amount of specifications, and zoom into a representative set of identified threats and their remediation.

Lieven Desmet, Research Manager at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven

Lieven Desmet is the Research Manager on Secure Software at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), where he coaches junior researchers in web application security and participates in dissemination and valorization activities. His interests are in software verification and security of middleware and web-enabled technologies. Lieven is actively engaged in OWASP and is board member of the OWASP Chapter Belgium.
