on day 2 we walk delegates through the design vulnerabilities, covering Access Controls, Logic flaws, and how to really compromise encryption (no weak SSL ciphers or theoretical stuff here)

Day 3: Breaching the Server
on day 3 we look at breaching the server using today's popular coding-related flaws: SSRF, Deserialisation, SSTI, File format exploitation, and Input Validation
