What are some Python debugging tools? - ANSWER-- pdb: most commonly used
,- Web-PDB
- wdb
- Pyflame
- objgraph
Sensitive Data Leaks - ANSWER-- occurs when an application fails to properly protect sensitive

or database error messages, or revealing comments in HTML files
Cross-site Request Forgery - ANSWER-- client-side technique used to attack other users of a web
application

establishing breakpoints
- code step throughs
