PHPCon PL 2011 – Safety of web applications (Przemysław Pawliczuk)

What should you keep in your mind to make your web app more secure?

  • Check file content when you receive it through $_FILES. Check if it contains "<?php".
  • Remember that image EXIF can be dangerous.
  • Salt passwords.
  • Do not authenticate on the client side.
  • Write down basic procedures what would you do if your application has been hacked.
  • Let people in your company use the app for the first time to play and try to break it.
  • Separate development from production machines on every aspect.
