Fundamentals of Cybersecurity (2020)

Lesson 8.1 Inside Web Apps

Description

In this lesson, students will look under the hood of web sites and web applications by using “view page source” in a browser. This will enable them to see HTML markup for images, navigation, and page layouts, CSS styling, and even JavaScript source code or links to JS files. Students will also view code that has been minified and understand what that means. Lastly, students will also take a first look at OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) which is an important organization in cybersecurity.


Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Identify major sections of code within the view source of a web page/app
  • Understand the importance of OWASP and how it relates to the field of cybersecurity
