When you put your Drupal site online you expose it to a wide world of hackers who have the potential to attack your site. In this session you can learn about some of the most common problems with code in a
Drupal site so you'll recognize them and be able to protect against them. Join Drupal security team members Greg Knaddison and Peter Wolanin as they give you the tools to hack your site and the knowledge to protect it.

You will specifically learn how to exploit a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability and Cross Site Request Forgery vulnerabilities and then also learn how to protect your code/sites against them.

Attendees will have a chance to win copies of Cracking Drupal.

This shortened free version of the full day pre-conference security session.
