Web Security Session

From Beaver BarCamp

Web Security, Hands on Learning

Mozilla's Michael Coates will be leading this workshop. Make sure to bring your laptop with you!

Please RSVP, below, if you would like to attend. If there's more demand than the room can accomodate, priority will be given to folks who have RSVPed. Be kind - let us know if you'd like to attend so we can ask the fine folks at Mozilla to host two workshops if needed.

Workshop Abstract

The web is a dangerous place with talented criminals looking to destroy the apps that you spent so much time and effort creating. This workshop will be a hands on learning experience covering current threats to web applications. We'll use a vulnerable test application and perform hands on testing to understand these attacks and how to properly defend against them in our applications.

Notes

Students can listen and follow along to Michael’s presentation or they can participate in hands-on learning on their own workstations while Michael works through some exercises. Issues are discussed at both a high level to cover overall impacts and also a detailed technical level for those interested.
