SCP - Writing Secure Code in PHP
Learn how to write secure code in PHP, identifying vulnerable patterns
PHP is one of the most famous languages in the world. Magento, WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla are written in PHP. Whether you are developing an extension for a blog or a complete e-commerce platform, knowing what vulnerable patterns look like is crucial for writing secure code. This course will guide you through different scenarios that will let you understand how attackers look at the code and applications. We will look at vulnerabilities and remediations from a developer's point of view, equipping you with the right knowledge and tools to support you in each phase of the software development lifecycle. "SCP - Writing secure code in PHP" is a course for developers, security engineers, or professionals that want to improve their skills in PHP secure code reviews and vulnerability exploitation.
