Web App Security - John Kraal

Semantics, dependencies, performance, business logic, scalability, consistency, UX, browser limitations, unit tests, accessibility, what else a good frontend developer should keep in mind building another successful product? How about... security?

How often do we proactively taking care of it and what's the risk if we just let it go? If you think information security isn't your responsibility—you're wrong.

Talks about frontend vulnerabilities aren't that common: security professionals aren't very talkative and many frontend developers aren't that knowledgeable. We want to improve it and share best practices of cautious development.

In this talk we're going to discuss common mistakes in interface architecture, data processing and exposure, XSS and CSRF attack vectors and programming approaches that may lead to troubles.

Certified Secure XSS/XSRF Experience - Joost Pol
During the Certified Secure XSS/XSRF Experience a Certified Secure expert will guide the participants through a fun and realistic security challenge that contains multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross Site Request Forgery (XSRF) vulnerabilities.

While working together as a group to complete the challenge, the participants will gain critical insights and learn about the common security pitfalls and mistakes made during development. Thought you knew it all? Think again!
