Topic: IT-Security: Hacking a Symfony application

First: Symfony provides a stable and flexible framework to create web applications. Second: web developers know how to create secure apps with it. So what can possibly go wrong? Well... see yourself, watch a Symfony application getting hacked and learn what common mistakes to avoid when building a security layer as a Symfony user.

Matthias will focus in his lightning talk on a tool named "slimdump". It is an open source project developed by webfactory (https://www.webfactory.de/) with the idea to help you creating configurable dumps of large MySQL-databases. It works off one or several configuration files. For every table you specify, it can dump only the schema (CREATE TABLE ... statement), full table data, data without blobs and more.

Both talks will be held in German.

We are looking forward to welcome you all to our last Symfony User Group Cologne in 2016!

See you!
