Product Description

For every developer who wants to build production-quality applications using PHP and MySQL. 

In this one-of-a-kind video package, top Web developer and Prentice Hall author Marc Wandschneider shows you exactly how to build reliable, secure, industrial-strength Web applications with PHP and MySQL. You’ll master both PHP and MySQL through 18 comprehensive video lessons, and you’ll have your first PHP/MySQL application running in less than an hour.

Wandschneider shows how to set up PHP on Windows and Mac OS X and then builds your skills by walking you through actual application development projects. Just click, watch, and learn efficient ways to implement user account creation, form validation, cookie and session management, file upload/download, and much more.

Everything’s taught visually, using sample applications ranging from a simple calculator to a full-fledged photo sharing site, and all the sample code is on the DVD. Programming challenges at the end of each lesson teach you how to take your skills to the next level. You’ll master essential PHP and MySQL best practices at your own pace and learn how to deliver production-quality PHP/MySQL solutions faster and more effectively.

The amount of websites has increased rapidly during the last years. While websites consisted mostly of static HTML files in the last decade, more and more webapplications with dynamic content appeared as a result of easy to learn scripting languages such as PHP and other new technologies. In fact, PHP is the most popular scripting language on the world wide web today. Besides a huge amount of new possibilities, the new web 2.0 also brings a lot of security risks when data supplied by a user are not handled carefully enough by the application. Different types of vulnerabilities can lead to data leakage, modification or even server compromise. In the last year, 30% of all vulnerabilities found in computer software were PHP-related ¹.

In order to contain the risks of vulnerable webapplications penetration testers are hired to review the source code. Given the fact that large applications can have thousands of codelines and time is limited by costs, a manual source code review might be incomplete. Tools can help penetration testers to minimize time and costs by automating time intense processes while reviewing a source code.

In this submission a tool named RIPS is introduced which automates the process of identifying potential security flaws in PHP source code by using static source code analysis

Features:
detect XSS, SQLi, File disclosure, LFI/RFI, RCE vulnerabilities and more
5 verbosity levels for debugging your scan results
mark vulnerable lines in source code viewer
user-defined function code by mouse-over on detected call
list of all user-defined functions and program entry points (user input) connected to the source code viewer
create CURL exploits for detected vulnerabilties with few clicks
7 different syntax highlighting colour schemata
only minimal requirement is a local webserver with PHP and a browser
