PHP Patterns and Refactoring Training Course

This training program is designed to equip participants with the skills required for the role of a professional web designer (Occupation Code: 213202, per the Standards of Professional Qualifications). The curriculum emphasizes "HTML and CSS in web design" and integrates a programming component that addresses problem-solving through JavaScript and PHP.

Participants are expected to develop the ability to create and design websites using HTML4/HTML5 and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS2/CSS3/CSS4). Throughout the process of building a website, learners will apply HTML tags to organize text, images, tables, and interactive forms on web pages, as well as establish connections via links to other pages and external sites. Simultaneously, Cascading Style Sheets 2.0 will be utilized to style and format web content in accordance with specific client requirements.

Upon completion, participants will be well-positioned to pursue opportunities within service-oriented companies specializing in web design or to establish their own consulting practice as self-employed professionals. The course content focuses on the practical aspects of website creation using HTML and CSS, ensuring a solid foundation for real-world application.

Even seasoned programmers often do not fully master the various security services offered by their development platforms, nor are they always aware of the diverse vulnerabilities relevant to their projects. This course targets developers using both Java and PHP, equipping them with essential skills to make their applications resilient against contemporary Internet-based attacks.

The course walks through the layers of Java's security architecture by addressing access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. It also introduces specific APIs for securing PHP code, such as OpenSSL for cryptography and HTML Purifier for input validation. On the server side, best practices are provided for hardening and configuring the operating system, web container, file system, SQL server, and PHP itself, while placing special emphasis on client-side security regarding JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5 vulnerabilities.

General web vulnerabilities are discussed through examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, illustrating various injection attacks, script injections, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The course introduces Java- and PHP-specific language problems and issues stemming from the runtime environment, grouped into standard vulnerability types such as missing or improper input validation, improper use of security features, incorrect error and exception handling, time- and state-related problems, code quality issues, and mobile code-related vulnerabilities.

Participants can experiment with the discussed APIs, tools, and configuration effects themselves. Each introduction to vulnerabilities is supported by hands-on exercises demonstrating the consequences of successful attacks, showing how to correct bugs and apply mitigation techniques, while introducing the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and know how to avoid them
• Learn about client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Learn to use various security features of the Java development environment

Developers

This course equips PHP developers with the vital skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern internet-based threats. We explore web vulnerabilities through PHP examples that extend beyond the OWASP Top Ten, addressing various injection attacks, script injection, weaknesses in PHP session handling, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types such as insufficient or flawed input validation, improper error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- or state-related issues. For the latter, we examine attacks like open_basedir bypass, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. In each scenario, participants will learn the essential techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5 vulnerabilities. We introduce several PHP security extensions, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, and Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for input validation. Best practices for hardening are covered in the context of PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache, and general server setup. Additionally, we provide an overview of various security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing tools, exploit kits, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the exploration of vulnerabilities and configuration practices are reinforced with hands-on exercises. These demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, show how to implement mitigation strategies, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants in this course will

• Grasp fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding.
• Understand web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and learn how to prevent them.
• Gain knowledge of client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices.
