QA Testing for Secure Applications

Format

  • Instructor-led

Prerequisites

  • None

This introductory course is designed for quality assurance professionals who need to understand how to test their systems for security.

The course offers students a comprehensive introduction to common application vulnerabilities and their exploitation and equips them to test for these vulnerabilities before applications go into production.

Through lab-based learning, students identify vulnerabilities in a sample application and learn to take these lessons back to their own applications.

Topics will include: the attacker mindset; security testing tools and techniques; the basics of netcap and nmap; mapping the application; error handling and information leakage; common authentication flaws; authorizations flaws; exploitation of logic errors; advanced SQL injection attacks; cross-site scripting attacks; cross-site request forgery; Web services forgery; buffer overflows; and rootkit technology.
