ISCS 0538 - Web Application Security
Credits: 3
Semester: 2nd Semester
Lecture: 3
This course will introduce methods of exploiting the vulnerabilities of web applications, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, remoting frameworks, HTML5, cross-domain integration techniques, UI redress, and buffer overflows in the application layer. The student will examine the procedures and technologies that are essential to developing, penetration testing and releasing a secure web application. The course will emphasize that web application security should be addressed earlier in the lifecycle in development and quality assurance, and how it differs from other types of Internet security. Through a review of recent web application breaches, the student will be exposed to the prolific methods hackers use to execute web attacks using common vulnerabilities. Some open source tools will be used to provide to the student an opportunity to exploit vulnerabilities of some web applications and how to secure the web applications.
