DeepSec 2022 Online-Onsite Training: Hacking JavaScript Desktop Apps: Master the Future of Attack Vector – Abraham Aranguren

Sanna/ October 24, 2022/ Conference

This course is the culmination of years of experience gained via practical penetration testing of JavaScript Desktop applications as well as countless hours spent doing research. We have structured this course around the OWASP Security Testing Guide, it covers the OWASP Top Ten and specific attack vectors against JavaScript Desktop apps. This course provides participants with actionable skills that can be applied immediately from day 1.

Please note our courses are 100% hands-on, we do not lecture students with boring bullet points and theories, instead we give you practical challenges and help you solve them, teaching you how to troubleshoot common issues and get the most out of this training. Training then continues after the course through our frequently updated course material, for which you keep lifetime access, as well as unlimited email support.

Each section starts with a brief introduction to the JavaScript platform (i.e. Node.js, Electron) for that section and then continues with a look at static analysis, moves on to dynamic checks finishing off with a nice CTF session to test the skills gained.

Day 1: Focused on Hacking JavaScript Desktop Apps: We start with understanding JavaScript Desktop apps and various security considerations. We then focus on static and dynamic analysis of the applications at hand. The section is filled with hands-on exercises ending with a CTF for more practical fun.

Day 2: Dedicated to instrumentation and Advanced JavaScript Desktop App attacks: We cover advanced usage of instrumentation to debug and workaround typical assessment problems and then move on to cover attacks specifically targeting Electron and other platforms such as interesting XSS scenarios, multiple edge cases to gain RCE, local & remote attacks, prototype pollution, and more. The day is full of hands-on exercises and ends with CTF-style open challenges for additional practice.
