OWASP, Part 2 of 4: Forgery and Phishing

Course description

In this course you’ll look at building secure applications from the mindset of the hacker and what a developer can do to avoid the front pages of the latest exploit. You will see examples of Cross-Site Forgery, how a phishing email works, the vulnerabilities of open source components, and also redirects from unvalidated links.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course is for users with experience with developing web applications using C# or other object oriented programming languages.
