PHP 8 for Developers Training Course

The training program prepares you for a professional career as a web designer (occupation code: 213202 according to the Standards of Professional Qualifications), focusing on "HTML and CSS in web design" and including a programming challenge using JavaScript and PHP.

This program assumes that participants will be able to design and develop websites using HTML 4.0 and Cascading Style Sheets 2.0. In building a website, you will use HTML tags to place text, graphics, tables, and interactive forms on web pages, as well as links to other web pages and sites. Using Cascading Style Sheets 2.0, you will format web content according to client requirements.

Graduates of the course can seek employment in service companies that specialize in web design or start their own consulting services (as self-employed individuals). The training program covers the essentials of creating websites using HTML and CSS.

Even experienced programmers do not always fully grasp the various security services provided by their development platforms, nor are they always aware of the different vulnerabilities relevant to their projects. This course is designed for developers working with both Java and PHP, equipping them with essential skills to make their applications resilient against modern internet-based attacks.

The levels of Java security architecture are explored through topics such as access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. The course also introduces several APIs that can be used to secure PHP code, including OpenSSL for cryptography and HTML Purifier for input validation. On the server side, best practices are discussed for hardening and configuring the operating system, web container, file system, SQL server, and PHP itself, with a special emphasis on client-side security issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

General web vulnerabilities are examined through examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, covering various injection attacks, script injections, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The course also addresses Java- and PHP-specific language problems and runtime environment issues, categorized 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 will have the opportunity to try out the discussed APIs, tools, and configurations themselves. The introduction of vulnerabilities is supported by numerous hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to correct bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and introduce 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 how to avoid them
• Gain knowledge of client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Learn to use various security features in the Java development environment

This course equips PHP developers with the essential skills needed to fortify their applications against modern internet-based attacks. It delves into web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to cover a wide range of injection attacks, script injections, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The course categorizes PHP-related vulnerabilities into standard types such as missing or improper input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related problems. Specific examples include open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service through magic float, and hash table collision attacks. Participants will gain hands-on experience with the most important techniques and functions to mitigate these risks.

Special emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5 vulnerabilities. The course introduces several PHP extensions for cryptography, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL, as well as input validation tools like Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier. Best practices for hardening PHP configurations (including setting php.ini), Apache, and the server in general are also covered. Additionally, an overview of various security testing tools and techniques is provided, including security scanners, penetration testing and exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the introduction to vulnerabilities and configuration practices are supported by numerous hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, illustrate how to apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and how to prevent them
• Gain knowledge on client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Acquire a practical understanding of cryptography
• Become proficient in using various security features of PHP
• Learn about common coding mistakes and how to avoid them
• Stay informed about recent vulnerabilities in the PHP framework
