Overview
Java Professional Development LiveLessons provides developers with practical guidance for developing Java programs that are robust and secure. These LiveLessons complement The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java.
Description
In this video training, Robert provides complementary coverage to the rules in The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java, demonstrating common Java programming errors and their consequences using Java 8 and Eclipse. Robert describes language behaviors left to the discretion of JVM and compiler implementers and guides developers in the proper use of Java’s APIs including lang, util, Collections, Concurrency Utilities, Logging, Management, Reflection, Regular Expressions, Zip, I/O, JMX, JNI, Math, Serialization, and JAXP.
About the Instructor
Robert C. Seacord is the secure coding technical manager in the CERT Division of Carnegie Mellon’s Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Robert is also a professor in the Institute for Software Research and the Information Networking Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. He is the author of eight books on software development including The CERT® Oracle® Secure Coding Standard for Java™ (Addison- Wesley, 2012) and Java™ Coding Guidelines 75 Recommendations for Reliable and Secure Programs (Addison-Wesley, 2013). He has also published more than sixty papers on software security, component-based software engineering, web-based system design, legacy-system modernization, component repositories and search engines, and user interface design and development.

Table of Contents
Part I (of III)
Introduction
Lesson 1: Java Security Concepts
1.1 Injection attacks
1.2 Leaking sensitive data
1.3 Denial-of-service attacks
Lesson 2: Input Validation and Data Sanitization (IDS)
IDS00-J. Prevent SQL Injection
IDS01-J. Normalize strings before validating them
IDS03-J. Do not log unsanitized user input
IDS04-J. Safely extract files from ZipInputStream
IDS06-J. Exclude unsanitized user input from format strings
IDS07-J. Do not pass untrusted, unsanitized data to the Runtime.exec() method
IDS08-J. Sanitize untrusted data passed to a regex
IDS11-J. Perform any string modifications before validation
IDS16-J. Prevent XML Injection
IDS17-J. Prevent XML External Entity Attacks
Lesson 3: Declarations and Initialization (DCL):
DCL00-J. Prevent class initialization cycles
Lesson 4: Expressions (EXP)
EXP00-J. Do not ignore values returned by methods
EXP01-J. Never dereference null pointers
EXP02-J. Do not use the Object.equals() method to compare two arrays
EXP03-J. Do not use the equality operators when comparing values of boxed primitives
EXP04-J. Do not pass arguments to certain Java Collections Framework methods that are a different type than the collection parameter type
EXP06-J. Expressions used in assertions must not produce side effects
Lesson 5: Numeric Types and Operations (NUM)
NUM00-J. Detect or prevent integer overflow
NUM01-J. Do not perform bitwise and arithmetic operations on the same data
NUM02-J. Ensure that division and modulo operations do not result in divide-by-zero errors
NUM03-J. Use integer types that can fully represent the possible range of unsigned data
NUM04-J. Do not use floating-point numbers if precise computation is required
NUM05-J. Do not use denormalized numbers
NUM07-J. Do not attempt comparisons with NaN
NUM08-J. Check floating-point inputs for exceptional values
NUM09-J. Do not use floating-point variables as loop counters
NUM10-J. Do not construct BigDecimal objects from floating-point literals
NUM11-J. Do not compare or inspect the string representation of floating-point values
NUM12-J. Ensure conversions of numeric types to narrower types do not result in lost or misinterpreted data
NUM13-J. Avoid loss of precision when converting primitive integers to floating-point
Lesson 6: Characters and Strings (STR)
STR00-J. Use an int to capture the return value of methods that read a character or byte
STR01-J. Don't form strings containing partial characters
STR02-J. Specify an appropriate locale when comparing locale-dependent data
STR03-J. Do not convert between strings and bytes without specifying a valid character encoding
STR04-J. Use compatible character encodings on both sides of file or network I/O
