Course description

Web applications are the most targeted assets in the modern threat landscape. This course provides a deep dive into Web Application Penetration Testing, teaching you how to think like a malicious actor to find "holes" in website logic, databases, and authentication systems.

You will master the use of Burp Suite, the industry-standard intercepting proxy, to manipulate web traffic and bypass client-side restrictions. The curriculum follows the OWASP Top 10 framework, covering high-impact vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection (SQLi), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and Broken Access Control. Beyond just exploiting bugs, you will learn the "Defense-in-Depth" strategies required to patch these vulnerabilities, making you a vital asset to any development or security team.

What will i learn?

• Intercept and Manipulate Traffic: Use Burp Suite to analyze and modify HTTP requests and responses in real-time.
• Exploit Injection Flaws: Perform manual and automated SQL injection to extract data from back-end databases.
• Execute Scripting Attacks: Understand and demonstrate Reflected, Stored, and DOM-based XSS attacks.
• Bypass Authentication: Test for weak password policies, session hijacking, and insecure "Remember Me" functionalities.
• Perform Security Audits: Conduct a full web application security assessment and document findings in a professional report.
