May 28, 2010 Computer News

It has been discovered that Google has recently released a specific online tutorial that actually allows developers the opportunity to play the role of a hacker. This is done by giving them the opportunity to exploit genuine security bugs which exist within a mock web application. This tutorial that is available is free which is fantastic.

The specific codelab is actually premised on a small web application. It has many bugs that are able to be exploited in order to take down web servers. It is also allows you to perform remote code execution attacks as well as certain information disclosure leaks.

It is a great concept and you are able to actually download it as well as run it on the majority of local machines. Its main aim is to help teach developers everything that they need to know with regard to insecure coding.

This is a great concept because it allows developers and anyone else the experience of finding and fixing bugs and vulnerabilities. Another wonderful aspect is the factor that it is actually broken up into different types of vulnerabilities in order to give developers a full experience of everything.

The vulnerabilities it has includes XSS as well as CSRF. This system has been set up in such a manner that it allows learners to be able to identify certain vulnerabilities as well as learn how to exploit them in order to carry out specific types of attacks. This is a very clever new concept which is seriously going to help hackers to be caught in the future.
