Course description
Web Application Security in Python
Your Web application written in Python works as intended, so you are done, right? But did you consider feeding in incorrect values? 16Gbs of data? A null? An apostrophe? Negative numbers, or specifically -232? Because that’s what the bad guys will do – and the list is far from complete.
Handling security needs a healthy level of paranoia, and this is what this course provides: a strong emotional engagement by lots of hands on labs and stories from real life, all to substantially improve code hygiene. Mistakes, consequences and best practices are our blood, sweat and tears.
The curriculum goes through the common Web application security issues following the OWASP Top Ten but goes far beyond it both in coverage and the details.
All this is put in the context of Python, and extended by core programming issues, discussing security pitfalls of the Python language and framework.
So that you are prepared for the forces of the dark side.
So that nothing unexpected happens.
Nothing.

Labs are awesome. Good prompting from the Cydrill Sergeant platform.
The labs were very well done. I like how it walked a person through the issue, and with the help from the instructor I was able to easily grasp what the intent was.
