PHP for Wordpress Training Course

This training course is designed to prepare participants for the role of a professional web designer (occupation code: 213202 according to the Standards of Professional Qualifications), with a focus on “HTML and CSS in web design.” It also incorporates a programming component that addresses problem-solving using JavaScript and PHP.

This program is structured with the expectation that participants will develop the ability to create and design websites using HTML4/HTML5 alongside Cascading Style Sheets CSS2/CSS3/CSS4. Throughout the process of building a website, learners will apply HTML tags to organize text, images, tables, and interactive forms on web pages, as well as establish connections through links to other pages and external sites. In parallel, Cascading Style Sheets 2.0 will be used to style and format web content in line with specific client requirements.

Upon completion, participants will be well-positioned to pursue opportunities within service-oriented companies specializing in web design or to establish their own consulting practice as self-employed professionals. The course content focuses on the practical aspects of website creation using HTML and CSS, ensuring a solid foundation for real-world application.

Even seasoned developers often lack a comprehensive understanding of the security services provided by their development platforms, nor are they fully aware of the vulnerabilities pertinent 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 modern internet-based threats.

We explore the layers of the Java security architecture by addressing access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and various cryptographic functions. Additionally, we introduce 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, we provide best practices for hardening and configuring the operating system, web container, file system, SQL server, and PHP itself, with a special focus on client-side security regarding JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5 vulnerabilities.

Common web vulnerabilities are discussed with examples aligned to the OWASP Top Ten, illustrating various injection attacks, script injections, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. We also introduce Java- and PHP-specific language problems and issues arising from the runtime environment, categorized into standard vulnerability types such as 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 experiment with the discussed APIs, tools, and the effects of configurations firsthand. Each introduction of vulnerabilities is supported by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to correct bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and introduce 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

Audience

Developers

This course equips PHP developers with the essential skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern internet-based threats. We explore web vulnerabilities through PHP examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to cover a wide range of issues, including various injection attacks, script injections, weaknesses in PHP session handling, insecure direct object references, file upload vulnerabilities, and more. PHP-related vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types such as missing or improper input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related issues. For the latter, we examine attacks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. In every scenario, participants will learn the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A special emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing security concerns related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. We introduce several PHP extensions for security purposes, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for input validation. Best practices for hardening are provided in the context of PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache, and general server settings. Finally, we provide an overview of various security testing tools and techniques that developers and testers can utilize, including security scanners, penetration testing and exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the introduction of vulnerabilities and the configuration practices are supported by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and understand how to prevent them
