Worked across multiple projects in various domains like Banking, Insurance, Government Sector, Health, Ecommerce,Independent platforms security. Passionate about delivering trainings on web application and mobile applicationsecurity from a whitebox perspective.
Most of the Web Application pen testers perform vulnerability analysis from Blackbox perspective, such approach cannot guarantee complete coverage of the vulnerabilities in the applications. It is very much important to acquire knowledge on Whitebox strategies. This workshop would be beneficial for people who would like to initiate secure code review or secure code development careers in the Java web application area.
There will be 4 sessions. In the first session, people would be developing an insecure application using servlets, JSP, JDBC and MySQL. In the second and third sessions, participants would be finding and exploiting all the top10 vulnerabilities. In the final session, participants would be writing a secure code to transform the existing insecure application to a secure application.

Kris has both his Masters in Computer Security Fundamentals, CSE and Bachelors in Information Studies from the University of South Florida. During his time at the University of South Florida, Kris played numerous capture the flag (CTF) competitions and was a 2-term President of Whitehatters Computer Security Club (WCSC). Kris has since gone on to professionally compete, organize, and create challenges for CTFs. Professionally, Kris has experience within Academia, DoD contracting (both small and large), and within the DOE National Lab space. Kris was a technical lead on AFRL BlackBadge program which facilitated DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge (CGC). Kris was also a technical lead on ACT and ACT2 programs delivering operationally ready offensive cyber tools. Kris’s primarily technical background is in software vulnerability research, automated program analysis, program synthesis, and offensive cyber tool development.
The modern cybersecurity landscape is an escalating arms race between attackers and defenders - attackers are constantly researching and building new techniques and tools while defenders try to identify, detect, and respond to them. Using automation tools that emulate attacker methodologies, defenders can perform simple, repeatable attacks to drive their detection engineering efforts, security validation tasks, and ultimately improve processes. This entry level class will take students through the basics of setting up and using Operator to perform basic adversary emulation tasks and investigate how that can be used to create a continuous defensive evaluation process.
