And I stumbled upon an educational video on how passwords are easily cracked using commodity hardware https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U-RbOKanYs Freaked the heck out of me On Mon, Oct 31, 2016 at 12:18 PM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:
Very good read.
Any/all web app developer(s) should, *at the very minimum*, be extremely conversant with the OWASP Top 10 <https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Top_Ten_Cheat_Sheet> and how to write code which is safe against those vulnerabilities (SQL injection is no. 1 on that list btw).
If your web app collects financial information, I would strongly recommend your entire infrastructure is PCI DSS <https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/document_library?category=pcidss&document=pci_dss> compliant. You don't have to get certified, just implement those provisions.
Now, if the above seems like an overkill, then ask yourself (or your boss) this: "*if your server was hacked into and the entire database posted onto the web, how much damage would your organisation suffer?"*
