  - Proceedings:
    - “Teilnahme ist kostenlos und idealerweise verbindlich Planungssicherheit und Fairness sind wichtig – gerade bei einer limitierten Anzahl an Teilnehmern. Daher sollte die Zusage zum Event möglichst verbindlich sein. Sich einfach nur 'blind' einzutragen und dann am Ende nicht kommen zu können, ist also eher suboptimal für alle Beteiligten. Deshalb nutzt Never Code Alone den Dienst Eventbrite. Hier zahlt jeder Teilnehmer den symbolischen Ticketpreis von 10,00 Euro zzgl. 1,40 Euro für den Dienst, bekommt die 10,00 Euro jedoch am Event-Tag selbst gegen Vorlage des ausgedruckten Tickets zurückerstattet”.
    - “Wir werden zusammen coden mit einer Funktastatur und uns viel austauschen. Du kannst dir schon mal GitHub "Entwicklungshilfe-NRW/magentoModulRefactoringBox" und schauen, ob du auf der Maschine einen Unit-Test ausführen kannst. Ansonsten werden wir an dem Tag ja Live-Coding Sessions haben, wo alle mitmachen und sich einbringen können. Die vierte Session werden wir auch alle coden. Die Tastatur geht rum und da muß jeder mal ran”.

- Github " airbone42/nsa-anti-patterns" - “Talk about security at PHP Unconference 2013 in Hamburg”.
  1. ”';” - SQL injection → “prepare”.
  2. Broken authenification and session management
    1. Don‘t expose session IDs.
    2. Reduce session lifetime.
    3. Regenerate session IDs.
  3. ”<” - XSS → “htmlspecialchars”.
    1. Validate input.
    2. Escape output.
    3. X-content security policy.
    4. X-frame options.
    5. Template engine.
  4. Insecure direct object reference → “require”.
    1. Validate user input.
    2. Use indirect object references.
    3. Check access permissions.
  5. Security misconfiguration.
    1. Keep your system up-to-date.
    2. Remove setup/deployment routines.
    3. Disable exposure of sensitive data.
    4. Review server settings.
  6. Sensitive data exposure passwords.
    1. Add a salt.
    2. Use different salts.
    3. Use a strong algorithm (NOT md5).
    4. Store data and keys separated.
  7. Sensitive data exposure - PHP
    1. “expose_phpOff”.
    2. Remove “phpinfo();”.
  8. Sensitive data exposure - Secure URLs.
    1. Use TLS for all pages.
    2. Use secure cookie flag.
    3. Keep sensitive data out of the URL.
  9. Missing function level access control.
    1. Standard should disallow all access.
    2. Use roles to keep ACL simple.
    3. ACL model should be very flexible.
    4. Check privileges on each step.
  10. Cross-site request forgery.
    1. Use one-time-token and secure it.
    2. Authenticate user.
      1. Credentials.
      2. Captcha.
  11. Unvalidated redirects and forwards.
  12. Using components with known vulnerabilities.
    1. Keep libraries up-to-date ( versioneye.com ).
    2. Review third party libraries.
    3. Check mailing lists, boards, news- and vendor-sites.
  13. Mail header injection.
  14. Security by obscurity “The neighbours have better stuff”.

Tips&Tricks

Dependency Injection

Fabien Potencier "What is Dependency Injection?" - “This article is part of a series on Dependency Injection in general and on a lightweight implementation of a Container in PHP in particular”.
StackOverflow "PHP global variable is undefined inside a function even if global keyword is used" - “Do yourself a favor and use Dependency Injection”.
```
function myfunc($from) {
    return "from(myfunc)=$from<br />";
}
$from = '2010-05-01';
echo myfunc($from);
```

Execute Code in other PHP Files

StackOverflow "Executing another PHP file and return the output from a method, is that possible?".

function execute($filename){
    include_once($filename);
}

function execute($filename){
    ob_start();
    include $filename;
    $output = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();
    return $output;
}

Files

User experience: If a PHP file includes other PHP files by “include” or “require”, the HTML global title attribute of the first included PHP file which has HTML code with a HTML global title attribute, is displayed instead of the HTML global title attribute of the original PHP page.
```
<head>
<title>HTML title of the PHP page "require.php"</title>
</head>
```

StackOverflow "PHP include relative path"

include(dirname(__DIR__).'/config.php');
