PHP Patterns and Refactoring Training Course

This instructor-led, live training in Argentina (online or onsite) is aimed at data scientists and software engineers who wish to use AdaBoost to build boosting algorithms for machine learning with Python.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary development environment to start building machine learning models with AdaBoost.

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

The course explores layers of Java security architecture by addressing access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. It also introduces various APIs that can be used to secure code in PHP, 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, with a special focus on client-side security through the security issues of JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

General web vulnerabilities are discussed using examples aligned with the OWASP Top Ten, illustrating various injection attacks, script injections, attacks against session handling, insecure direct object references, issues with file uploads, and many others. The various Java- and PHP-specific language problems and issues stemming from the runtime environment are introduced, grouped into the standard vulnerability types of 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 try out the discussed APIs, tools, and the effects of configurations for themselves, while the introduction of vulnerabilities is supported by a number of hands-on exercises demonstrating the consequences of successful attacks, showing how to correct the bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and 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
• Gain a practical understanding of cryptography
• Learn to use various security features of PHP
• Understand security concepts of web services
• Gain practical knowledge in using security testing tools
• Learn about typical coding mistakes and how to avoid them
• Be informed about recent vulnerabilities in Java and PHP frameworks and libraries
• Get sources and further readings on secure coding practices

This course equips PHP developers with the critical skills needed to harden applications against modern internet-based threats. The curriculum explores web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples that extend beyond the OWASP Top Ten, addressing various injection attacks, script injections, weaknesses in session handling, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-specific vulnerabilities are categorized into standard risk types, including inadequate or absent input validation, flawed error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and timing/state-related flaws. Specific attacks covered include open_basedir bypass, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. Participants will learn the essential techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces key PHP extensions such as Hash, MCrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for robust input validation. Best practices for hardening are provided, covering PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache, and general server settings. Additionally, the course offers an overview of security testing tools and methodologies available to developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing tools, exploit kits, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both vulnerability concepts and configuration practices are reinforced with hands-on exercises. These exercises demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, guide participants in applying mitigation strategies, and introduce the practical use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Identify web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and learn how to prevent them
• Understand client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Gain a practical understanding of cryptography
• Learn to leverage various PHP security features
• Recognize common coding mistakes and know how to avoid them
• Stay informed about recent vulnerabilities within the PHP framework
• Acquire practical experience using security testing tools
• Receive resources and further reading materials on secure coding practices

Numerous proven design patterns are readily accessible. Often, the implementation involves adapting existing patterns to specific technologies, which can save hundreds of hours that would otherwise be devoted to design and testing. Training Goals This course has two goals: first, it allows you to reuse widely-known patterns, second, it allows you to create and reuse patterns specific to your organization. It helps you to estimate how patterns can reduce costs, systematize the design process and generate a code framework based on your patterns. Audience Software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers and developers as well as operational managers and software division managers. Course Style The course focuses on use cases and their relationship with a specific pattern. Most of the examples are explained in UML and in simple Java examples (the language can change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the sources of the patterns as well as showing you how to catalogue and describe patterns which can be reused across your organization.
