Secure web programming plus end users' awareness are the last line of defense against attacks targeted at the corporate systems, particularly web applications, in the era of world-wide web.
Most web application attacks occur through Cross Site Scripting (XSS), and SQL Injection. On the other hand, most web application vulnerabilities arise from weak coding with failure to properly validate users' input, and failure to properly sanitize output while displaying the data to the visitors.
The literature also confirms the following web application weaknesses in 2010: 26% improper output handling, 22% improper input handling, and 15% insufficient authentication, and others.
Abdul Rahman Sherzad, lecturer at Computer Science Faculty of Herat University, and Ph.D. student at Technical University of Berlin gave a presentation at 12th IT conference on Higher Education for Afghanistan in MoHE, and then conducted a seminar at Hariwa Institute of Higher Education in Herat, Afghanistan introducing web application security threats by demonstrating the security problems that exist in corporate systems with a strong emphasis on secure development. Major security vulnerabilities, secure design and coding best practices when designing and developing web-based applications were covered.
The main objective of the presentation was raising awareness about the problems that might occur in web-application systems, as well as secure coding practices and principles. The presentation's aims were to build security awareness for web applications, to discuss the threat landscape and the controls users should use during the software development lifecycle, to introduce attack methods, to discuss approaches for discovering security vulnerabilities, and finally to discuss the basics of secure web development techniques and principles.
Web applications are commonly used to transmit, accept and store data that is personal, company confidential and sensitive.
More enterprises are spending more time testing web applications, but many still do not integrate security testing into an application's overall test plan.
In this presentation, we explore ways to integrate security testing into an end-to-end test plan, exercise security features in unit tests, integration tests, acceptance tests.
Oh, WASP! Security Essentials for Web AppsTechWell
The past few years have seen a rapid increase in business efficiency through Web-based applications. Unfortunately, a dramatic increase in the number of web application vulnerabilities has followed. Insecure web applications can be disastrous for mission critical businesses and users' sensitive data. More than 70 percent of security vulnerabilities are due to flaws in the application rather than firewall breaches. Bennie Paul explains how security testing has become an indispensable part of the SDLC for businesses operating online today. OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) provides open source tools, code, and materials to develop, test, and maintain application security. Monitoring the “OWASP Top 10” web application security flaws is highly recommended as part of an organization’s testing methodology. Vulnerabilities identified are compared against the organization’s security objectives and regulations, and categorized accordingly for remediation. Benny guides you through the OWASP vulnerabilities, technique, framework, and preventive measures that you can adopt for building better software.

Application Security Testing for Software Engineers: An approach to build sof...Michael Hidalgo
This talk was presented at the 7th WCSQ World Congress for Software Quality in Lima, Perú on Wednesday, 22nd March 2017.
Writing secure code certainly is not an easy endeavor. In the book titled “Writing Secure Code: Practical Strategies and Proven Techniques for Building Secure Applications in a Networked World (Developer Best Practices)” authors Howard and LeBlanc talk about the so called attacker’s advantage and the defenders dilemma and they put into perspective the fact that developers (identified as defenders) must build better quality software because attackers have the advantage.
In this dilemma, software applications must be on a state of defense because attackers are out there taking advantage of any minor mistake, whereas the defender must be always vigilant, adding new features to the code, fixing issues, adding new engineers to the team. All this conditions are important when it comes to software security.
Sadly, strong understanding of software security principles is not always a characteristic of most software engineers but we can’t blame them. Writing code is a complex task per se, the abstraction level required, along with choosing and/or writing the accurate algorithm and dealing with tight schedules seems to be always a common denominator and the outcome when talking to developers.
This talk also includes techniques, tools and guidance that software engineers can use to perform Application Security testing during the development stage, enabling them to catch vulnerabilities at the time they are created.
The OWASP Top Ten is an expert consensus of the most critical web application security threats. If properly understood, it is an invaluable framework to prioritize efforts and address flaws that expose your organization to attack.
This webcast series presents the OWASP Top 10 in an abridged format, interpreting the threats for you and providing actionable offensive and defensive best practices. It is ideal for all IT/development stakeholders that want to take a risk-based approach to Web application security.
How to Test for the OWASP Top Ten webcast focuses on tell tale markers of the OWASP Top Ten and techniques to hunt them down:
• Vulnerability anatomy – how they present themselves
• Analysis of vulnerability root cause and protection schemas
• Test procedures to validate susceptibility (or not) for each threat
What is penetration testing and why is it important for a business to invest ...Alisha Henderson
A penetration test is also called a pen test, and a penetration tester is also referred to as an ethical hacker. We can figure out the vulnerable loopholes of a network, a web app or a network through penetration testing services.https://bit.ly/2Zq44xn
Application security is the use of hardware, software and procedural methods in order to protect applications from internal or external threats. As more and more applications are becoming accessible over networks, they are being exposed to a wide variety of threats as well.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

3. Negatively impacts by an attack:
Loss of customer confidence
Harm to your brand
Disturbance to your online means of revenue
collection
Web-site downtime, time loss and expenditures in
repairing damage done (reinstalling services,
restoring from backups)
Cost associated with securing web applications
against future attacks
Related legal fees and implications for having such
lax security measures in place
4. Security testing
Security testing is a process to
determine that an information system
protects data and maintains functionality
as intended.
5. Purposes of security testing
Finding out loopholes that can cause loss
of important information and allow any
intruder enter into the system.
Improving the current system and also
ensuring that the system will work for
longer time.
Ensuring that people in your organization
understand and obey security policies.
6. Security Concepts
Confidentiality – not public access
Authentication
– passwords
Authorization – permissions
Integrity
– no unwilled changes
Availability – any time as need
Non-repudiation –
recipient cannot deny
having received the message
7. Main definitions:
Threat: "A potential violation of security" - ISO 7498-2
Impact: consequences for an organization or
environment when an attack is realized, or weakness is
present.
Attack: a well-defined set of actions that, if
successful, would result in either damage to an asset, or
undesirable operation.
Vulnerability: is a weakness which allows an
attacker to reduce a system's information assurance.
Weakness: a type of mistake in software that, in
proper conditions, could contribute to the introduction of
vulnerabilities within that software.

10. SQL Injection
SQL injection is a code injection technique,
mostly known as an attack vector for websites
but can be used to attack any type of SQL
database.
12. Сross Site Sсriрting
Cross-site scripting (XSS) enables attackers to
inject client-side script into Web pages viewed by
other users.
Non-Persistent XSS Attack
Attack requires a user to visit the specially crafted
link by the attacker. When the user visit the link, the
crafted code will get executed by the user’s browser.
Persistent XSS Attack
Code injected by the attacker will be stored in a
secondary storage device (mostly on a database).
The damage caused by Persistent attack is more
than the non-persistent attack.

14. Example 2 of CSS
<script>alert()</script>
Overlay the Login screen with their own, allowing attacks to harvest
Usernames and Passwords.
15. Social Engineering
Social Engineering is a psychological manipulation of
people into performing actions or divulging confidential
information.
Phishing is a social engineering technique of fraudulently
obtaining private information.
What to look for in a phishing email
Generic greeting
Forged link (for ex. http instead of https)
Requests personal information
Sense of urgency
19. Security testing cycle
Risk assessment - creating a threat model
Security auditing - using the threat model to
probe the system design
Vulnerability scanning - using software to
probe the system implementation.
Penetration testing - trying to hack into the
system, either externally or internally.
Operational testing - some or all of the above
after the system is in production.
20. Vulnerability scanning
Network Scanning Software identifies weak
networking device settings (e.g., vulnerable ports left open,
default passwords)
Web Application Scanning software identifies weak
web application settings, failure to implement patches to
known web application vulnerabilities etc.
Database Scanning Software
identifies similar
weaknesses in database management systems and
database applications.
One list of Scanning Software and Vendors can be found at:

22. Fuzzing
Fuzz testing or fuzzing is a software
testing technique, often automated or semiautomated, that involves providing invalid,
unexpected, or random data to the inputs of a
computer program.
Can be useful in generating data for Code-Injections.
23. ‘Security Test Plan’
A security evaluation should be performed for the
software.
Security requirements should be established for the
software development and/or operations and
maintenance (O&M) processes.
Each software review, or audit should include an
evaluation of the security requirements.
A configuration management and corrective
action process is in place to provide security for the
existing software.
Any proposed changes should do not inadvertently
create security violations or vulnerabilities.
Physical security for the software should be adequate.
24. Check List for Security testing
•
•
•
1. Try to directly access bookmarked web page without login to the system.
2. Verify that system should restrict you to download the file without sign in on the system.
3. Verify that previous accessed pages should not accessible after log out i.e. Sign out and then press the Back
button to access the page accessed before.
•
4. Check the valid and invalid passwords, password rules say cannot be less than 6 characters, user id and password
cannot be the same etc.
•
5. Verified that important i.e. sensitive information such as passwords, ID numbers, credit card numbers, etc should
not get displayed in the input box when typing. They should be encrypted and in asterix format.
•
6 .Check Is bookmarking disabled on secure pages? Bookmarking Should be disabled on secure pages.
•
7. Check Is Right Click, View, Source disabled? Source code should not be visible to user.
•
8. Is there an alternative way to access secure pages for browsers under version 3.0, since SSL is not compatible
with those browsers?
•
9. Check does your server lock out an individual who has tried to access your site multiple times with invalid
login/password information?
•
10. Verify the timeout condition, after timeout user should not able to navigate through the site.
•
11. Check Are you prevented from doing direct searches by editing content in the URL?
•
12. Verify that relevant information should be written to the log files and that information should be traceable.
•
13. In SSL verify that the encryption is done correctly and check the integrity of the information.
•
14. Verify that restricted page should not be accessible by user after session time out.
•
15. ID / password authentication, the same account on different machines cannot log on at the same time. So at a
time only one user can login to the system with a user id.
•
16. ID / password authentication methods entered the wrong password several times and check if the account gets
locked.
•
17. Add or modify important information (passwords, ID numbers, credit card number, etc.). Check if it gets
reflected immediately or caching the old values.
•
18. Verify that Error Message does not contain malicious info so that hacker will use this information to hack web
site.
