Hack Yourself First – Troy Hunt
‘Hack Yourself First’ is all about developers building up cyber-offence skills and proactively seeking out security vulnerabilities in their own websites before an attacker does. It recognises that we have huge volumes of existing websites that haven’t gone through sufficient security review plus we continue to create new content that even when built with security in mind, still needs testing from the perspective of a cybercriminal.
In this session Troy looks at website security from the attacker’s perspective and exploit common risks in a vulnerable web application. The session is entirely web framework agnostic — if your website uses HTML and is loaded over HTTP, this session is for you!
