Course Overview

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is one of the most prevalent and dangerous web vulnerabilities, often exploited to steal user data, hijack sessions, or deface websites. Understanding real-world XSS attack vectors is crucial for developers, security researchers, and bug bounty hunters to enhance web application security. This course dives into award-winning XSS case studies, analyzing sophisticated attack techniques that have earned researchers top bug bounty rewards. By studying these real-world exploits, learners will gain a deeper understanding of XSS attack surfaces and effective mitigation strategies.

This course begins with an introduction to XSS and its significance in web security. It then explores multiple advanced XSS exploitation techniques through hands-on demonstrations. Learners will analyze how XSS can be triggered via images, leveraging unexpected attack surfaces. The course also delves into HTTP Response Splitting, showcasing how header manipulations can lead to XSS vulnerabilities. Additionally, it covers XSS via cookies, highlighting how improperly handled session data can be exploited. Finally, the course examines AngularJS template injection, a powerful technique used to bypass modern security measures. Each section includes an in-depth demo to reinforce practical knowledge.

By the end of this course, learners will be equipped with practical insights into high-impact XSS vulnerabilities, real-world exploitation techniques, and defensive measures to secure web applications effectively.
