re you someone who has a terrible way of managing passwords? You are not alone actually, because most of us are doing it bad. We use the same password over and over again. Some list down their passwords in their diaries or journals, others keep it in their dropbox or write it in their Evernote. Other people write it on a sticky note and stick near their personal computers. Well if you are what I am describing, it is now time to use a password manager. The password manager that I am going to make a tutorial is called LastPass.

The document provides tips for securing a server, including generating SSH keys instead of using root passwords to access the server, installing a dedicated SSL certificate, regularly scanning for viruses and malware, configuring a static IP address and firewall, and checking process and error logs on a weekly basis to keep the server safe and the website running smoothly.

It also covers best practices for website security including using a firewall, backups, strong passwords and keeping software updated. Tips are provided on hosting options, vulnerability monitoring, and resources for further information.

David Simner talks about how designing secure systems is often much harder than it seems at first.

Haven’t you wished you could ask any question to an “expert” at WordCamp? Problem is that many talks have short Q&A sessions – and while we encourage speakers to visit the Happiness Bar after the talks, it’s still difficult to ask sometimes. Also there could be someone ELSE in the room that has a great answer, or would love to bond over the subject you’re interested in.

Modern day web applications live and operate in a complex eco-system (Browser, Network/wifi, CDN, Cert Authorities, 3rd party sub resources and more). Securing the web server and web application business logic is not sufficient. The eco-system outside your direct control also contribute to the security risk posed to users of web applications. Security weaknesses and compromised elements in the eco-system would make , otherwise secure, applications risky for the users. We need to think of protecting your users in this un-trusted environment. The presentation describes such risks and options available to deal with them. NOTE: The same talk was presented in Armsec2016 conference (http://armsec.org/) and in OWASP Pune chapter meetup (29th Sep, 2016)

Technical SEO helps search engine spiders crawl and index your site more effectively. Some activities of technical SEO are SSL, Robots.txt, Sitemaps, Meta tags which are explained below- SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. The Robots. txt is a file which is used by websites to communicate with web crawlers and other web robots. Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. Meta tags are snippets of text that describe a page's content. It helps the search engine identify what a web page is about.

A talk about attacks against SSL that have been uncovered in the last 3-4 years. This talk delves into about what exactly was attacked and how it was attacked and how SSL is still a pretty useful piece of technology. This was given at null Bangalore April Meeting.

When users use our sites, they put their faith in us. They trust we will keep their information from reaching others, believe we provided the information they see, and allow us to run (web) code on their devices. Using HTTPS to secure our conversations is a key part of maintaining this trust. If that’s not motivation enough, the web’s giants are actively promoting HTTPS, requiring it for features such as HTTP2 & ServiceWorker, using it for search engine ranking and more. To make the most of the web, you need to use HTTPS. This deck reviews what HTTPS is, discusses why you should prioritize using it, and cover some of the easiest (and most cost effective) steps to get started using HTTPS

This document introduces cryptography concepts like encryption, integrity protection, and digital signatures. It discusses how Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) implements cryptography to encrypt tokens and protect against CSRF attacks. Specifically, AEM uses JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) to encapsulate tokens, signs them with an HMAC key for integrity, and includes the token in non-GET requests to prevent CSRF without requiring changes to application code or dependencies on server-side sessions. Developers do not need to handle the CSRF token explicitly in their JavaScript code.

The document discusses SSL/TLS, how it works to securely transmit data between endpoints, and potential vulnerabilities. It provides an overview of SSL/TLS protocols and how data is encrypted and transmitted. It then outlines several common endpoint issues that can compromise SSL/TLS, such as inconsistent DNS configurations, self-signed certificates, incomplete certificates, and mixing plain text and encrypted sessions. Exploiting these issues allows man-in-the-middle attacks that can intercept and decrypt encrypted traffic.

This document discusses cryptography and security in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). It introduces the presenters Damien Antipa and Antonio Sanso and defines cryptography. It then discusses encryption, integrity protection, and different cryptographic techniques like AES, RSA, HMAC, and JSON Web Tokens. The document also covers use cases for AEM like encapsulating tokens and preventing CSRF attacks. It explains how CSRF protection works transparently in AEM using JSON Web Tokens signed with an HMAC key to ensure integrity and allow caching.

This document discusses SSL/TLS and its implementation on websites in Barcelona. It provides an overview of TLS including its core components like authentication, key exchange, and encryption. It then analyzes the TLS support of popular Barcelona-based websites, finding that while some offer partial TLS, only Tuenti fully implements TLS for login and browsing. Resources for further learning about TLS, HTTP/2, and performance are also referenced.

Sergej Jakovljev explains how to setup different levels of security over SSL. What's the difference between different SSL certificates and how to set them up on NGINX, Heroku and Node.js.

This document summarizes internet security over time. It discusses past vulnerabilities like weak authentication on CCTV systems and clickjacking attacks. It then covers the Heartbleed vulnerability, which allowed memory leaks in TLS implementations. This vulnerability affected OpenSSL versions and allowed stealing of usernames, passwords, private keys and other sensitive data. The document discusses how the vulnerability worked and how it was fixed with a bounds check. It also notes the vulnerability's impact in the real world and references further technical information.

Slides from a workshop I held on cryptography for web developers. Part 1 is about cryptography in web applications and why you should not mix HTTP and HTTPS. https://blog.hboeck.de/archives/849-Slides-from-cryptography-workshop-for-web-developers.html

- The document discusses securing Rails web applications by improving on the framework's default security settings. - It emphasizes using HTTPS to encrypt traffic, securing certificates with tools like Let's Encrypt, and strengthening configurations using the Mozilla SSL Configuration Generator. - Content Security Policies provide an added layer of security by restricting what content can be loaded from external sources, reducing vulnerabilities, though they require careful configuration. - HTTP Public Key Pinning can lock users out if misconfigured, so caution is advised. Overall, the talk provides guidance on tightening security beyond Rails defaults.

This document discusses why HTTPS and secure certificates are important for websites. Some key points include: - HTTPS provides benefits like faster loading, improved SEO, and avoiding browser warnings. It also establishes trust with users. - Common excuses for not using certificates like small site size or not processing payments are invalid, as hackers automate attacks. - If a web server supports HTTP/2, HTTPS can be faster than HTTP. Tools like Chrome developer tools show the protocol used. - The process to implement HTTPS involves obtaining a certificate, updating server configurations, and ensuring proper security is configured. - Resources like Let's Encrypt and Qualsys tools can help simplify certificate management and test security configurations.

The document discusses securing applications with SSL/TLS. It recommends disabling SSL v2.0, using ECDHE cipher suites where possible as they provide both fast performance and forward secrecy. Additionally, it advises not trusting default SSL/TLS configurations that come with software packages.

If you own a website, specifically a WordPress site, it's time to move from HTTP to HTTPS. Google is implementing a Carrot-and-Stick plan to get you there. This WordCamp talk touched on the basics of HTTPS/SSL/TLS and Google's plan to make the web more secure. These slides cite links with supporting information.

Damon Cortesi of Alchemy Security presents the most effective ways to plug the most common holes found in web services. Learn about XSS, SQL injection, and why you should care about these things now instead of later.

This document discusses SSL/TLS protocols and how to set up your own certificate authority (CA) or use Let's Encrypt for free SSL certificates. It provides a brief history of SSL and TLS protocols, outlines the key differences between versions, and lists common TLS implementations like OpenSSL. It then explains how to set up your own CA by generating root and intermediate certificates and signing server/client certificates. Finally, it introduces Let's Encrypt as a free and automated CA that aims to promote SSL security. It explains how Let's Encrypt validates domain ownership and issues certificates to ensure communications are private, integrity is maintained, and parties can be trusted.
