As developers, we have a responsibility to protect the data our users trust us with. No one wants to wake up to the news that their site was hacked and all of the user accounts stolen.

Security is important, yet it is often overlooked and forgotten.

Part of the reason for this is that security seems hard to get right. This results in developers crossing their fingers and hoping for the best.

In this course, you'll learn how to protect your application by learning how to attack it.

    How will you use what you learned from this course?

    Course and information was good, but the examples seemed extremely unrealistic. I understood how the attacks work, but not sure how would someone get someone else to paste a script tag into an input. Maybe including examples of how actual hackers trick people into making these kind of things would be useful.
