WebGoat-Workshop: Teaching Web-Application Security 101

Are you ready for the second event of this year?

This event will focus on web application security. We have invited Nanne Baars to give us a workshop on how to use WebGoat. We kick-start the meetup at 18:15 with Pizza and drinks followed by the workshop.

We have decided to focus each event on a certain field of software development. So, if you liked one of our past events, but web application development is not what you normally work on, please still recommend us to your colleagues and friends. And if you didn't like something tell nobody else but us.

Schedule

18:00 Doors open

18:15 Pizza and drinks

18:45 Nanne Baars "WebGoat-Workshop: Teaching Application Security 101"

ca 21:00 closing

A good defense against insecure code requires understanding the mechanics behind how attackers exploit simple programming mistakes. The WebGoat team will walk through exercises like SQL Injection, XSS, XXE, CSRF, … and demonstrate how these exploits work.
We will show you how you can use WebGoat to train your developers to avoid these simple but common programming mistakes. We also show you how to extend WebGoat to create lessons specific to your environment. Join us to learn the most basic, but common, application security problems.
Tired of all the lessons? During the training we will host a small CTF competition which you can take a shot at and compete with each other.
