Course Overview

This course provides developers with an in-depth understanding of web application security from an attacker's viewpoint. By focusing on the OWASP standards, this course equips learners with the skills to identify and address common security vulnerabilities found in modern web applications, ensuring they are better prepared to build secure code and defend against potential threats. 

This course begins with a brief introduction and agenda, followed by an extensive overview of web penetration testing, covering information gathering, scanning, and enumeration techniques. Participants will learn how to exploit various vulnerabilities like XSS (Reflected and Stored), CSRF, OS Command Injection, and SQL Injection. It also covers the OWASP API and Web Top 10 vulnerabilities, emphasizing how to identify and exploit them. Additional topics include HTTP security headers, JSON Web Tokens, cryptography, and technical measures for best practices in security. 

By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of offensive security techniques and how to secure your applications against OWASP vulnerabilities.
