Hello Robert,
👍 Nice work! You have learned to prevent the most critical web development vulnerabilities. These are far from the only pitfalls in web development, but they are the most commonly exploited. Through them, you should also have a broad understanding of the types of targets hackers choose and the techniques used to exploit them. Other exploits are similar and often involve small variations on these vulnerabilities.
Make sure you have a firm grasp on the following concepts. You should be able to describe in words to someone else how each vulnerability could be exploited, why hackers would want to exploit it, and how to prevent it.
- Cross-Site Scripting
- SQL Injection
- Cross-Site Request Forgery
- Cookie Theft and Manipulation
- Session Hijacking
- Session Fixation
