Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing For Web Apps

Ethical Hacking and Penetration Testing for Web Apps course will help you learn OWASP's TOP 10 vulnerability categories, the defenses, and fixes for them. The course also covers all the popular hacking types, launching your career as a web security specialist.

The Internet is now all around us. We have long used the advantages of the internet, and as time went on, the threat to cyber security also began to emerge. Daily reports of cyberattacks can be seen in every media.

The convenience, comfort, and amenities of using internet-based applications—whether they be web applications or mobile applications that utilize cloud-based APIs—have also raised the likelihood of a cyber assault. Because hackers are constantly on the lookout for vulnerabilities in applications, they have escalated to a point where it is impossible to even anticipate what will happen the following day.

Course Overview

A good secure application may be built, or the developer can be guided toward building a good program that is secure and does not contain the weaknesses that have previously been revealed, just like the proverb "A person who understands how to break a lock, can manufacture a good lock!"

What does the course offer?

In this course, we will address the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a community-based initiative. They will routinely update their list of vulnerabilities.

Also, a subset of other vulnerabilities will be included in this Top 10 list of vulnerabilities and fall under those top 10. So, we will cover close to 30 of the most frequent vulnerabilities in this course, which are also the ones that are now prevalent in the cyber world.

You will feel secure enough to test a web application, a cloud-based application in an API-based application, or a mobile application that uses a cloud-based API after you have access to these 30 vulnerabilities

I provide you with the defenses and mitigating measures for each session so that we can avoid the vulnerability that was the subject of that particular session. So, you will be able to advise the programmer or developer who is creating the web application of the defensive measures.

Please make sure you are just utilizing these techniques for ethical hacking and penetration testing; do not use them for any other unethical or criminal activities.

Who is this course for?

Penetration testing and cyber security are very lucrative fields of work. This course is designed for people who are new to cyber security, those who are interested in entering the field, as well as experienced testers who want to transition into penetration testing.

It also provides an overview of basic web coding. This course is also open to those who are interested in ethical hacking.

The main focus of this course will be on performing penetration testing on web-based applications. Because the majority of mobile applications interact with a cloud-based API, it can also be used for those applications.

The security of the mobile application using this API is essentially the security of the API itself. We will issue you a course completion certificate upon completion of the course, which you may add to your resume and will greatly enhance the value of your present profile.
