Configure a local web testing environment by installing and starting Apache, MySQL, phpMyAdmin, and related tools; set up directories, test users, and security testing utilities for hands-on demonstrations.
Explore data hiding and its risks by showing how placing data in seemingly inaccessible directories offers only apparent obscurity and can be accessed by anyone who discovers the paths.
Explore brute-force and dictionary attacks against web authentication, including the ttp auth scheme implemented in Apache, using Hydra and John the Ripper to test login resilience.
Explore how account lockout vulnerabilities enable denial of service through failed logins, and learn why IP address tracking offers a safer mitigation in online banking scenarios.
Explore web parameter tampering by intercepting http requests, altering get or post data and hidden form fields like item price, and stress server-side verification before payment gateway processing.
Examine path and information disclosure vulnerabilities that reveal errors; learn to prevent exposure by disabling query output, configuring error reporting, and validating parameters to thwart path traversal and hp injection.
Explore forced browsing, where users access restricted content via manual resource discovery. Learn secure authorization to prevent personal data leaks and exposure of configuration files.
Analyze path traversal vulnerabilities where user input selects files loaded by the application, and learn defenses like input filtering and whitelisting to prevent unauthorized access.
Explore how a web parameter delimiter vulnerability in a text-file database allows delimiter-based injection that can grant administrator privileges, and learn to defend by removing delimiters from input.
Examine PHP injection vulnerabilities where user input controls include/require paths to execute code, and learn defenses like disabling allow_url_include, enforcing static extensions, restricting inclusion paths, and input filtering.
Explore direct static code injection attacks where unfiltered input logged to a server-side file is executed by a PHP interpreter, and how sanitization and safe file handling prevent cross-site scripting.
Explore how SQL injection can exploit dynamic queries in login forms and article retrieval, using UNION and information_schema to reveal data, and learn defenses like escaping and input filtering.
Learn how xss attacks exploit unfiltered get or post input to reflect or store malicious html or javascript, stealing cookies and session data, with defense through input filtering and escaping.
Demonstrate how cross-site tracing attacks use trace requests to read cookies despite HttpOnly protections, and explain why blocking trace at the server or via firewall blocks these bypasses.
Explore how cross-site request forgery tricks an authenticated user into unintentionally executing actions. Learn defenses like tokens, one-time tokens in forms, hidden fields, and server-side checks.
Examine how attackers spy on web application traffic with a sniffer, capturing links, forms, and Ajax requests, enabled by cross-site scripting and iframes. Frame killer defenses are discussed.
Explore session hijacking, where attackers intercept a session to gain unauthorized access. Learn defenses like ssl protections, the ttp only parameter on cookies, session id regeneration, and ip address checks.
Learn to identify session fixation and how attackers exploit session IDs to gain access, with defenses like regenerating session IDs after login and rechecking user data.
Recognize phishing attacks that impersonate banks and services; analyze suspicious emails and URLs, and practice safe verification, such as checking certificates and manually typing legitimate URLs.
Discover automated web application security testing using white box and black box methods; grey box is noted as a hybrid, with tools and code analysis for injection vulnerabilities.
