Security today
The weakest link
Humans
it is much easier to trick someone into giving a
password for a system than to spend the effort to crack into the system -- K. Mitnick
Raising awareness on browsers
It’s a trap!
We’re curious
People are resourceful

How can we cure this problem?
We need to implement REAL security, not fake.
How do we win the war? How do we win
the war?
If we as developers have to keep thinking about security,
we will lose...
We need to deflect *EVERY* attack, They only need *ONE*
to win...
99.999% of all programmers are NOT trained or have the
capability to identify security threats. The other 0.001% will not be able to identify them ALL OF THEM ALL THE TIME.
A day in the life of a PHP programmer...
$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE username="'.$_GET['username'].'"');
You should use mysql_real_escape_string!
No, you shouldn’t!
You just put a developer who wasn’t aware of security
issues, in charge of security...
Let others handle security (PDO)
There is no (quick) solution.
There is no (quick) solution. but we have to change
the way we deal with security radically,
There is no (quick) solution. but we have to change
