The OWASP Top 10
The OWASP Top 10 represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications. The information provided by OWASP provides a valuable framework for developing secure code by highlighting the most critical risks and providing guidance on how to prevent them. In addition, it helps developers write secure code by raising awareness, providing education, and offering a methodology for managing and mitigating risks.
Understanding Common Vulnerabilities in Code
In this section, you will delve deeper into the mechanics and code behind the most common vulnerabilities. Understanding how the vulnerabilities are exploited in a general sense will arm you with the knowledge to identify the behavior in your code base. To better understand the impact of these exploits, there are hands-on labs included that cover some of the most commonly exploited vulnerabilities.
