= Trainings =

The trainings will be held November 18th and 19th, 2012 (Sunday and Monday) at the ANTEL National Telco Company located in downtown Montevideo (conference talks are November 20th and 21st). This year we are offering 3 different courses:

Improving Java Security with ESAPI
Instructor: Fabio Cerullo, Cycubix

Course Overview
Training Audience: Technical Required Skill Level: Intermediate

This course aims to provide the knowledge and resources required to improve the security of Java applications using the OWASP Enterprise Security API (ESAPI) Libraries. These libraries are designed to make it easier for developers to retrofit security into existing applications, and also serve as a solid foundation for new development.

Contents
The participants, through theory and labs, will be able to identify critical vulnerabilities in web applications and implement the necessary corrective measures using the ESAPI libraries.

Topics Include:

- Introduction to ESAPI Architecture - Security Controls Overview - Authentication - Session Management - Access control - Input validation - Output encoding/escaping - Cryptography - Error handling and logging - Data Protection - HTTP security

The class is hands-on and will include labs. Attendees should have a laptop capable of running VMs. We will provide a VM at the beginning of the class.

Hands on Web Application Testing: Assessing Web Apps the OWASP way
Instructor: Matt Tesauro

Matt also taught graduate and undergraduate classes on web application development and XML at Texas A&M University. Currently, he's focused on application security risk assessments at Praetorian. Outside work, he is the project lead for the OWASP Live CD / WTE, a member of the OWASP Foundation board, and part of the Austin OWASP chapter leadership.

He is also has the CISSP, CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), RHCE (Red Hat Certified Engineer), and Linux+ certifications.

Course Abstract
The goal of the training session is to teach students how to identify, test, and exploit web application vulnerabilities. The creator and project lead of the OWASP Live CD, now recoined OWASP WTE, will be the instructor for this course and WTE will be a major component of the class. Through lecture, demonstrations, and hands on labs, the session will cover the critical areas of web application security testing using the OWASP Testing Guide v3 as the framework and a custom version of OWASP WTE as the platform. Students will be introduced to a number of open source web security testing tools and provided with hands on labs to sharpen their skills and reinforce what they’ve learned. Students will also receive a complementary DVD containing the custom WTE training lab, a copy of the OWASP Testing Guide, handouts and cheat-sheets to use while testing plus several additional OWASP references. Demonstrations and labs will cover both common and esoteric web vulnerabilities and includes topics such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL injection, CSRF and Ajax vulnerabilities. Students are encouraged to continue to use and share the custom WTE lab after the class to further hone their testing skills.
