Web application security is hard, and getting harder. New technologies and techniques mean new vulnerabilities, and keeping on top of them all is a significant challenge. This talk will dive deep in to the underbelly of JavaScript security, exploring topics ranging from basic cross-site scripting to CSRF, social network worms, HTML sanitisation, securing JSON, safe cross-domain JavaScript and more besides.
