InfoCan Presents at Vancouver Code Camp!

On March 18, 2006, developers around the Lower Mainland will gather for The Vancouver Code Camp. This free one day seminar is designed as a series of intensive code related demos and technical sessions to guide the developer to the next skill level. The continuing goal of Code Camps is to provide an intensive developer-to-developer learning experience that is fun and technically stimulating. The focus is on delivering programming information and sample code that can be used immediately. All training, slides, manuals and demo code are provided free of charge!

Michael Li, President and Chief Technology Officer of InfoCan Management, has been asked to present the following session:

Understanding Web Application Threats and Vulnerabilities
Security is something that should be considered from the initial design of a system instead of an after-thought. Attacks can range simply from satisfying the personal ego of a would-be hacker to stealing corporate assets or monetary gains. You cannot properly protect your applications unless you know where and what are the vulnerabilities. This hands-on session will take you through the types of threats and the 5 most common attacks known on the Internet to-date: DoS (Denial of Services), SQL injection, cross-site scripting, site hijacking and input-tampering attacks. If you are not familiar with any or all of these threats, you own yourself and/or your employer this 75mins session to learn about your risk exposure.

In addition, two separate methods of documenting and modeling your current threat exposure will be covered. These techniques will help you properly identify and organize your mitigation priorities.

The techniques shown in this session are applicable to all web development projects regardless platform and languages.

Code examples for this talk will be provided in both C# and Delphi.NET.
