Short summary

The prevalence of online attacks against websites has accelerated quickly in recent years and the same risks continue to be readily exploited. However, these are very often easily identified directly within the browser; it’s just a matter of understanding the vulnerable patterns to look for. This training comes at security from the view of the attacker in that their entry point is typically the application. They have a website for example and they want to probe it for security risks and this is how they go about it. The approach is more reflective of the real online threat than reviewing source code is and it empowers participants to begin immediately assessing their applications even when they’re running in a live environment without access to the source.

How can I test my applications for security so that security bugs can be fixed?
