Course Description

Everyone agrees that web application security is very important but there are very few to take it seriously. There have been lots of high-profile instances of websites having their password databases exposed to the World (e.g. Ashley Madison and Adobe). You don't want the application you are building to be the next big security horror story. This course will get you up-to-speed on the key attack vectors, quickly covering issues such as cross-site scripting, CSRF, and SQL injection. It will provide you with clear, practical approaches to mitigating these problems. It will show you how to implement OAuth and two-factor authentication for the additional protection of users who need it. Further, we will delve into the critical process of adding secured, well-thought-out authentication and authorization to a Node.js application. After completing this course, you should be confident in your ability to make an application secure with Node.js and keep your data protected.

By Artur J. Zapater

This course has helped me understand the basics of how some common attacks work. That's it. The solution the author gives to every problem is using this or that library. Not even once does he have you build a simple protection against an attack so that you understand how it works.

Other than that, this course is basically an excuse to push the author's own libraries on you. His libraries are poorly maintained. He is the only author and they haven't been updated in 1-2 years. At the moment of writing this review, the section on using Google OAuth is impossible to complete because the author's library uses a deprecated API.

Honestly, this course feels like an excuse to get people to use the author's own libraries, rather than an honest attempt at teaching security.
