The engineering questions you get asked, and the bugs you actually hit. Drawn, one mechanism at a time, in the order the videos ship.
How algorithm negotiation and ciphersuite confusion create critical security vulnerabilities in JWTs, and how PASETO v4 enforces modern cryptographic safety by default.
401 means 'I don't know who you are (authenticate yourself)'. 403 means 'I know who you are, and you don't have permission'. The naming mistake in HTTP and how to use them.
XSS executes malicious code inside your user's browser. CSRF tricks your user's browser into making requests they never wanted. The key difference in one line.
String concatenation turns user input into executable database commands. Why escaping strings fails and parameterized queries always win.
Encryption is a two-way street with a key. Hashing is a one-way mathematical trapdoor. Why speed is the enemy of secure passwords.

Three attributes decide whether your cookie is sent at all. Here's what each one does, and why yours is missing.
