Overview of this book

ASP.NET Core developers are often presented with security test results showing the vulnerabilities found in their web apps. While the report may provide some high-level fix suggestions, it does not specify the exact steps that you need to take to resolve or fix weaknesses discovered by these tests. In ASP.NET Secure Coding Cookbook, you’ll start by learning the fundamental concepts of secure coding and then gradually progress to identifying common web app vulnerabilities in code. As you progress, you’ll cover recipes for fixing security misconfigurations in ASP.NET Core web apps. The book further demonstrates how you can resolve different types of Cross-Site Scripting. A dedicated section also takes you through fixing miscellaneous vulnerabilities that are no longer in the OWASP Top 10 list. This book features a recipe-style format, with each recipe containing sample unsecure code that presents the problem and corresponding solutions to eliminate the security bug. You’ll be able to follow along with each step of the exercise and use the accompanying sample ASP.NET Core solution to practice writing secure code. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to identify unsecure code causing different security flaws in ASP.NET Core web apps and you’ll have gained hands-on experience in removing vulnerabilities and security defects from your code.

Chapter 13: Best Practices

Overall, the security of your ASP.NET Core web application typically relies on the steps a developer takes to implement security measures and write secure code. In the previous chapters and recipes of this book, we've learned what insecure code would look like, the risks such weaknesses introduce, and, most importantly, how to mitigate these security issues. But beyond the basics of secure coding are proven methods of writing code that are efficient for security. This is because they enable the necessary defensive or protective mechanisms available in the .NET framework, all of which we will examine in this chapter.

In this final chapter, we're going to cover the following recipes:

  • Proper exception handling
  • Using security-related cookie attributes
  • Using a Content Security Policy
  • Fixing leftover debug code

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to handle errors and exception safely, use attributes in cookies...
