Web App Hacking

Course Overview

This course is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of web application hacking. You’ll learn about various attack vectors and industry-standard methodologies. By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to identify and exploit common web application vulnerabilities.

Course Outline

    • Understanding the OWASP Top 10

  4. Hacking Web Platforms

    • Common vulnerabilities in popular web frameworks

    • CMS-specific vulnerabilities

    • Exploiting misconfigurations in web servers

  5. Hacking Web Authentication
