DESCRIPTION
Sponsors: OWASP Top 10 Workshop Series - Understanding SQL Injection and XSS Please join us for the first workshop of our OWASP Top 10 series. In this exciting series, we will explore the top web application security vulnerabilities, and how to prevent them. The OWASP Top 10 is a list of the most pertinent security issues that affect web applications today. In this workshop, we will cover: OWASP Top 10 A1 (Injection): Injection flaws, such as SQL, OS, and LDAP injection occur when untrusted data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query. The attacker’s hostile data can trick the interpreter into executing unintended commands or accessing data without proper authorization. OWASP Top 10 A3 (Cross-Site Scripting, XSS): XSS flaws occur whenever an application takes untrusted data and sends it to a web browser without proper validation or escaping. XSS allows attackers to execute scripts in the victim’s browser which can hijack user sessions, deface web sites, or redirect the user to malicious sites. Please try to arrive 15 - 30 minutes early.
