Secure Coding Fundamentals Project

Apply the hacker mindset to application security by solving the multiple challenges included in this project. You’ll need to identify vulnerabilities in the provided applications and code samples and discover how those vulnerabilities could be exploited by an attacker. See for yourself how security errors in code can lead to compromised credentials, SQL injections, and buffer overflow and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.
