Talk Description:
This hands-on session focuses on the design problems and technical issues behind the most recent security breaches of Facebook, British Airways, Yahoo and Equifax. By analyzing them in depth, we understand that they could have been evaded by the right security consciousness. So we explore the story behind each breach and solve a corresponding security challenge afterwards. These challenges will give a real insight into the risks of XSS bugs, broken access controls on Content Delivery Networks, insecure access-tokens and outdated 3rd-party dependencies. Avatao provides the infrastructure to host these exercises so everybody can easily join to solve them.

Requirements:
- Browser with internet access
- Python 3 installed
- Experience with XSS
- A fair understanding of coding will be helpful
