-
Python Code Security Cyber Range
-
This cyber range helps you develop your knowledge in finding and remediating vulnerabilities in Python code. You’ll build and reinforce your skills as you progress through labs covering a wide range of Python code security topics, including using Bandit, PyT and other tools to find common security issues in Python code, perform taint and control flow analysis, and recognize vulnerabilities that can lead to common application attacks, such as cross-site scripting or XPath injection. You will also practice identifying supply chain vulnerabilities, unsafe deserialization and other risks.

What you will learn
Most software vulnerabilities are caused by the same few development mistakes. This path describes these vulnerabilities and how to recognize them in code, demonstrates how they are exploited by attackers (including real-world case studies of vulnerable applications in production), and describes ways by which the vulnerabilities can be mitigated.
