EC-Council CAST® — Advanced Application Security®

The EC-Council Centre of Advanced Security Training has arrived at Firebrand Training. This three-day Advanced Application Security course is intensive, and focuses on combating attacks by improving your code-writing.

You will learn how to attack applications on the web, off-the-shelf binary applications and runtimes such as .NET, Java and Adobe AIR. This all takes place on a Virtual Machine, which you keep after the course.

Warning: This is not a beginner’s course. You'll spend 50% of the course in hands-on coding labs, so you must have some programming experience. The course is right for you if you're an: application developer, software programmer or pen tester.

Learn how to use these tools and techniques:

• SSL compelled certificate injection
• SSL renegotiation
• CRL libraries
• SQL root kits
• XSS
• 'Fuzzing' (most programmers aren't aware of this, but your code should be fuzzed!)

Note: this course doesn't include an exam, but you'll become Advanced Application Security certified.
