A Detailed Guide to the OWASP Top 10 - #2 Cryptographic Failures

The video tutorial discusses cryptographic failures, focusing on the lack of encryption and its impact on data security. It explains attack scenarios, such as session hijacking in public Wi-Fi networks, and emphasizes the importance of using TLS and HTTPS for secure communications. The tutorial also provides a practical guide on implementing SSL using Let's Encrypt to enhance website security.

What is the primary focus of cryptographic failures?

• Enhancing user interface design

• Improving website speed

• Exposure of sensitive data due to lack of encryption

• Reducing server load

In a public Wi-Fi scenario, what can an attacker do if a website does not use HTTPS?

• Access the website's server

• Steal the user's session cookie

• Change the website's layout

• Increase the website's traffic

What is the role of Transport Layer Security (TLS)?

• To ensure secure communication between client and server

• To enhance website graphics

• To compress data for faster transmission

• To provide a backup for website data

Why is it important to use HTTPS on websites?

• To improve website aesthetics

• To reduce the number of ads

• To increase website loading speed

• To encrypt sensitive data like passwords and credit card details

What service is mentioned as a way to ensure website traffic is encrypted?

• Let's Encrypt SSL service

• Google Analytics

• Amazon Web Services

• Microsoft Azure
