Malicious Code Injection Workshop

SQL Injection, Cross-site Scripting (XSS) and other injection attacks techniques have become pervasive on the web. This hands-on workshop takes an in-depth look at common methods used to exploit web applications. Attendees will learn step-by-step techniques used by attackers allowing them to better understand how web applications are exploited. Each attack method is followed up with a discussion about effective countermeasures to defend against such attacks.

This interactive workshop includes a victim web application that contains built-in vulnerabilities. Attendees can bring their own laptop computers and participate in hands-on lab sessions. The objective of this workshop is to learn secure development practices used to harden the security of applications. Attendee participation is encouraged and door prizes will be awarded at random.
