Welcome to the advanced web security tutorial! This guide dives deeper into critical concepts and practices to protect your web applications from sophisticated threats. 🔒
1. Core Security Principles
- Confidentiality: Use TLS 1.3 (🔒_TLS_1_3) for encrypted data transmission
- Integrity: Implement HMAC (🔐_HMAC) for message authentication
- Availability: Deploy DDoS mitigation strategies (⚡_DDoS_Mitigation)
💡 Remember: Security is a layered approach. Always combine multiple defenses.
2. Common Vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10)
| Risk | Description | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 🔥 A01: Broken Access Control | Restrict resource access properly | Use RBAC (Authorization_Methods) |
| 🧠 A02: Cryptographic Failures | Weak encryption protocols | Adopt AES-256 (Encryption_Methods) |
| 💥 A03: Injection | Sanitize user inputs rigorously | Use parameterized queries (SQL_Injection_Prevention) |
OWASP Top 10
3. Advanced Protection Techniques
- Web Application Firewalls (WAFs): Configure mod_security (🛡️_mod_security) rules
- Rate Limiting: Prevent brute force attacks (🚫_Brute_Force)
- Secure Headers: Set Content-Security-Policy (🛡️_CSP_Header)

4. Modern Threat Landscape
- Zero-day exploits (⚠️_Zero_Day)
- API security risks (🔑_API_Security)
- Supply chain attacks (📦_Supply_Chain)
Zero-Day Exploit
5. Tools & Best Practices
- Use OWASP ZAP for dynamic analysis (🛠️_OWASP_ZAP)
- Regularly update dependencies (🔄_Dependency_Update)
- Implement HSTS (HTTPS_Strict_Transport_Security)
🛑 Always validate inputs on both client and server sides!
6. Stay Updated
