101: From Secure Coding to Secure Testing

Understanding How to implement security controls and test your own code

One of the biggest challenges for developers is to understand how certain vulnerabilities in code leads to security vulnerabilities. In this demo presentation we will show a Java program without proper security controls and how the lack of them leads to XSS Injections, CRSF Attacks or disclosure of information that serves hackers to gain information to compromise your system.
In addition, we will also demonstrate the same classes with proper controls in place
and how to test your code implementation using an attack proxy such as ZAP/BURP.
