MISSIONS — The Next Level of Interactive Developer Security Training
2020-11-12 02:11

The problem is, developers haven't had the most inspiring introduction to security training over the years, and anything that can be done to make their experience more engaging, productive, and fun is going to be a powerful motivator in helping them gain valuable secure coding skills.

In a blog post from November 28, 2019, security research group Wisdom reported on a security bug they discovered on GitHub.

While a security vulnerability is never good news, security researchers who rock a whitehat do provide some mercy - not to mention the opportunity to avert disaster - if they discover potentially exploitable errors in a codebase.

In order to move to the next level of secure coding prowess, it is super powerful not just to find common vulnerabilities, but also have a safe, hands-on environment to understand how to exploit them as well.

Keep reading to discover how a Case Mapping Collision in Unicode can be exploited, how it looks in real-time, and how you can take on the mindset of a security researcher and try it out for yourself.
