Security can have a significant affect on you and your business, but can seem daunting. One of the most important aspects of creating secure sites is knowing what to look for.

In this meetup we’ll talk about:

Why you should be concerned about security
How PHP security fits in the larger picture
Examples of common security concerns, with solutions
How you can apply this information to improve your sites
While some of the topics we’ll discuss are specific to PHP, most of them apply to a website written in any language. Since this is a PHP meetup, the examples will all be written in PHP.

Planned topics include:

Cross-Site Request Forgeries
Cross-Site Scripting
Session Fixation
Cross-Site Session Transfer
Pseudo-Random Number Generator Attacks
SQL Injection
Email Injection
Path Disclosure
Path Traversal
Request Value Fixation
Invalid Character Encoding
File Uploads
Password Hashing
Magic Quotes and Register Globals
Cryptography Mistakes

There will be opportunities throughout the talk to ask questions, and links to more information about each topic will be provided. You’re sure to walk away from this meetup better informed about PHP security!
