“Hacking Modern Desktop apps: Master the Future of Attack Vectors” is a desktop app security course that provides you with case studies from real-world vulnerable applications as well as know-how and techniques to take your desktop app security auditing kung-fu to the next level. The course covers attacks and mitigation against desktop apps on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. The focus focuses on Electron but the techniques covered will be helpful against other desktop platforms, as well as CSP bypasses and other web security techniques. In this brief 60-minute webinar we will explain what the course covers and give you a few lab samples covering the following topics:
- Essential techniques to audit Electron applications
- What XSS means in a desktop application
- How to turn XSS into RCE in Modern apps
- Attacking preload scripts
