Grand Ballroom III

We're sorry!

We made a mistake in processing the videos from DjangoCon US 2024. The sponsor acknowledgements are missing our wonderful sponsor, the Wharton School. We deeply regret this and are working to re-upload videos with our correct sponsor acknowledgements.

All videos have been marked as unlisted and will be removed in the future. We expect the new, permanent videos to be uploaded in two weeks.

About this session

Pygoat is an intentionally vulnerable Python Django application that can be used to learn to secure our Django apps. In this talk, we will attack a deployed Pygoat application, identify the underlying security issues in our code, and then secure it. We will learn about common security vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10) in Django apps and how to fix them so that we can keep our applications safe from attackers.
