What are Security Playgrounds ?
Security Playgrounds provide sandbox environments where developers and engineers practice attacking and securing applications in real-world scenarios tailored to multiple programming languages.
What Are Security Playgrounds?
Security Playgrounds are hands-on, sandbox-style environments designed to teach secure coding practices through real-world scenarios. Whether you're a developer or a cloud engineer, you'll learn how to defend against vulnerabilities while improving your programming skills.
Building on AppSecEngineer’s hands-on labs, Security Playgrounds focus on teaching critical security skills. Whatever language you use, there’s a playground tailored to your needs.
Learn how to effectively use a playground in our detailed guide on Using a Playground.
How It Works:
-
Choose a scenario based on your tech stack and security interests.
-
Provision the lab, which is pre-configured with all necessary tools.
-
Learn by exploring vulnerabilities and applying security fixes with guided instructions.
-
Clean Up effortlessly—environments are auto-deleted when you finish.
With a mix of offensive and defensive techniques, you'll attack a target with a specific vulnerability and then secure it using what you've learned.
What You’ll Gain:
By the end of a Playground, you’ll be able to:
-
Understand how OWASP's Top 10 vulnerabilities affect your apps.
-
Simplify complex security challenges for your tech stack.
-
Apply offensive security techniques for vulnerabilities like Log4Shell, SQL Injection, and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
-
Gain hands-on experience defending against and fixing dangerous vulnerabilities.
