rm -rf: Horror Stories From Unsandboxed AI Agents (and How Docker Fixes This)

In this hands-on workshop, you will be equipped with the tools to effectively test the security of web applications. This course is designed for beginners as well as those already familiar with web application security testing who wish to expand their knowledge. In a world where websites play an increasingly central role, ensuring the security of these technologies is crucial. Understanding the attacker's perspective and knowing the appropriate defense mechanisms have become essential skills for IT professionals.This workshop, led by the renowned trainer Gregor Biswanger, will guide you through the use of industry-standard pentesting tools such as Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and the professional pentesting framework Metasploit. You will learn how to identify and exploit common vulnerabilities in web applications. Through practical exercises and challenges, you will be able to put your theoretical knowledge into practice and expand it. In this course, you will acquire the fundamental skills necessary to protect your websites from attacks and enhance the security of your systems.

Passwordless authentication may seem complex, but it is simple to add it to any app using the right tool. There are multiple alternatives that are much better than passwords to identify and authenticate your users - including SSO, SAML, OAuth, Magic Links, One-Time Passwords, and Authenticator Apps.
While addressing security aspects and avoiding common pitfalls, we will enhance a full-stack JS application (Node.js backend + React frontend) to authenticate users with OAuth (social login) and One Time Passwords (email), including:- User authentication - Managing user interactions, returning session / refresh JWTs- Session management and validation - Storing the session securely for subsequent client requests, validating / refreshing sessions- Basic Authorization - extracting and validating claims from the session token JWT and handling authorization in backend flows
At the end of the workshop, we will also touch other approaches of authentication implementation with Descope - using frontend or backend SDKs.

In this workshop, we'll cover the top 10 most common vulnerabilities and critical security risks identified by OWASP, which is a trusted authority in Web Application Security.During the workshop, you will learn how to prevent these vulnerabilities and develop the ability to recognize them in web applications.The workshop includes 10 code challenges that represent each of the OWASP's most common vulnerabilities. There will be given hints to help solve the vulnerabilities and pass the tests.The trainer will also provide detailed explanations, slides, and real-life examples in Node.js to help understand the problems better. Additionally, you'll gain insights from a Node.js Maintainer who will share how they manage security within a large project.It's suitable for Node.js Developers of all skill levels, from beginners to experts, it requires a general knowledge of web application and JavaScript.

Understand the fundamentals of NFT technology and its application in bolstering web security. Through practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises, attendees will learn how to seamlessly integrate NFT-based access control mechanisms into their front-end development projects.

npm and security, how much do you know about your dependencies?Hack-along, live hacking of a vulnerable Node app https://github.com/snyk-labs/nodejs-goof, Vulnerabilities from both Open source and written code. Encouraged to download the application and hack along with us.Fixing the issues and an introduction to Snyk with a demo.Open questions.

In this workshop we will go through all the aspects and stages when integrating your project into Code Quality and Security Ecosystem. We will take a simple web-application as a starting point and create a CI pipeline triggering code quality monitoring for it. We will do a full development cycle starting from coding in the IDE and opening a Pull Request and I will show you how you can control the quality at those stages. At the end of the workshop you will be ready to enable such integration for your own projects.
