This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or on-site) is designed for data scientists and software engineers who wish to use AdaBoost to develop boosting algorithms for machine learning with Python.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Set up the necessary development environment to begin building machine learning models with AdaBoost.

This course equips PHP developers with essential skills to build applications resilient against modern internet-based attacks. Web vulnerabilities are explored through PHP-focused examples that extend beyond the OWASP Top Ten, covering a range of injection attacks, script injections, session handling exploits in PHP, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-specific vulnerabilities are introduced and categorised under standard vulnerability types such as missing or improper input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related issues. For the latter, we examine attacks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. In each scenario, participants will become familiar with the most critical techniques and functions needed to mitigate these risks.

Special attention is given to client-side security, addressing security concerns related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. A variety of PHP security-related extensions are introduced, including hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for input validation. Best practices for hardening are presented in the context of PHP configuration (setting php.ini), Apache, and server-level settings. Finally, an overview is provided of various security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing frameworks, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the introduction of vulnerabilities and the configuration practices are reinforced through numerous hands-on exercises. These demonstrate the real-world impact of successful attacks, illustrate how to apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and how to prevent them
• Gain knowledge of client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices

• Learn how to utilise various PHP security features
• Identify typical coding mistakes and learn how to avoid them
• Stay informed about recent vulnerabilities in the PHP framework
• Gain hands-on experience with security testing tools
• Access resources and further reading materials on secure coding practices
