Ethical Hacking: Web App Hacking — Find & Fix Real Vulnerabilities

Stop hoping your web apps are safe — prove it. This hands-on, lab-driven course teaches modern web application attacks and, more importantly, how to defend against them. You’ll learn how vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited in controlled, legal environments so you can harden systems, write better code, and deliver professional remediation reports that win trust. No black-hat tricks, no live targeting — only ethical testing, repeatable labs, and real deliverables employers and clients care about.

What You’ll Learn

• Attack surface discovery: mapping apps, endpoints, and forgotten API routes in safe labs.
• Input validation flaws: practical lab exercises on XSS, SQL injection, and command injection — and how to fix them.
• Authentication & session weaknesses: exploit in sandboxes to learn secure session design and mitigation.
• Broken access control & privilege escalation scenarios with defensive remediation steps.
• Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), Insecure Deserialization, and business-logic flaws explained through labs.
• Secure coding checks for developers: safe patterns, secure libraries, and quick triage tactics.
• API security: testing REST & GraphQL endpoints, token handling, and rate limiting best practices.
• Modern auth & OAuth pitfalls: simulate attacks in test environments and learn hardening strategies.
• Automated scanning vs. manual verification: when tools lie and how to validate findings responsibly.
• Reporting & remediation: produce prioritized findings, reproducible PoCs (for labs only), and developer-friendly fixes.
• Legal & ethical boundaries: engagement scoping, responsible disclosure, and contract considerations.
• Career assets: lab reports, remediation templates, and a verifiable completion badge employers respect.

Course Format & Benefits

• Format: Self-paced video labs + optional instructor review sessions for hands-on feedback.
• Labs: Isolated, legal environments with realistic web apps and APIs — do not target live services.
• Materials: Downloadable checklists, attack/defense playbooks, and remediation templates.
• Support: Private student forum, weekly office hours, and curated tools list for ethical testers.
• Outcome: Practical artifacts for resumes — professional reports, PoC evidence (lab-only), and a course certificate.

Why this course converts curiosity into career results: direct, no-BS instruction from practitioners who’ve done real engagements, real lab exercises that mimic modern app stacks, and mentor feedback so you don’t just watch — you perform. Thousands of students have used these exact deliverables to land pentest gigs and improve app security in production. Limited enrollment preserves quality review — early registrants receive bonus templates and a free lab review session as a reciprocity gift.

Ethical use only — all exercises use isolated lab targets. This training is intended for security professionals, developers, and students who will follow legal guidelines and responsible disclosure practices.
