Exploiting Web Apps: Hands-On

Presented at Diana Initiative 2019, Aug. 10, 2019, 4 p.m. (60 minutes)

Learn attack techniques in a fun, CTF-style hands-on workshop. Participants will attack on Web applications with: command injections in Bash, PowerShell and ImageMagick; SQL injection; Cross-Site Request Forgery; Cross-Site Scripting; cookie manipulation, and exploit Drupal and SAML. We will also implement network defenses and monitoring agents. We will use Burp, Splunk, Snort, and simple Python scripts.

Prerequisites: participants should know basic security and networking. Experience with Web development is helpful but not necessary.

Students must have a computer with a Web browser and Java. For some projects you will need a Linux or Windows virtual or cloud machine.

All project instructions and materials are freely available online.
