Attacking the front-end: Modern-day client side security
We’ve come a long way since the early days of client-side security when injection attacks like XSS and SQLi were rampant. Modern frameworks come with a lot of out-of-the-box protections. But with the frameworks, the attackers have also evolved. In this talk, Kaif Ahsan, a Product Security Engineer at Atlassian, will share the most common ways modern web applications are hacked. Many of which he regularly comes across at work.
We will various techniques and examples of exploiting modern web applications like React, Angular. Through practical examples, code samples and much the developers will understand how the attacks happen and their impact. Furthermore, we will be exploring various best practices to tackle these vulnerabilities and build secure web apps.
