In this project, a student has +to choose a subject, which was not presented during the lectures, research it +and describe it in a synopsis. + +I have chosen application security as the topic that I want to learn more about. +Application security is an umbrella term for all of the measures that need to be +taken in order to make a secure application. That means finding, fixing and +preventing security vulnerabilities. + +I decided to work on this subject, because in previous semesters we have learned +how to make programs, services, and web applications, but we did not learn how +to make them safe from exploitation. It is important since a potential attacker +could use it to gain access to the system without authorization, retrieve some +sensitive data, abuse or even break the system. This could lead to some serious +consequences. + +This repository contains all resources that I have created during my research: +- LaTeX files for the synopsis +- examples of a few chosen security vulnerabilities +- examples with these weaknesses fixed +- presentation slides to be displayed with [sent](https://tools.suckless.org/sent/) |
