1) All about Java Deserialization Vulnerability

Java Deserialization of untrusted data has been a security buzzword for the past couple of years with almost every application using native Java serialization framework being vulnerable to Java deserialization attacks. Since it's inception, there have been many scattered attempts to come up with a solution to best address this flaw. In this talk we will focus on Java deserialization vulnerability and mitigation framework provided by Oracle in its latest JDK.

Agenda:

1) Does your Pentesting cover all the basis of IT Security ?

This talk focuses on how to align the security validation of a web application with the three basic elements of security namely,Confidentiality,Integrity, and Availability (CIA). The test effectiveness can be achieved by analyzing the requirements of each element and identifying the potential breaches that can compromise each element. The efficiency should be built by relating these breaches with the known OWASP Top 10 and other vulnerabilities and, leveraging that knowledge to identify the testing approach - static and dynamic throughout the SDLC.
