Course Overview

The "OWASP Top 10 Demystified" course is an essential guide for developers, security professionals, and ethical hackers looking to understand and mitigate the most critical web application vulnerabilities. Centered around the OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) Top 10 list—a globally recognized standard for web app security risks—this course equips learners with the foundational and practical knowledge necessary to protect digital assets in today’s threat landscape. Understanding these vulnerabilities is crucial in reducing exposure to common attacks such as injection flaws, broken authentication, and cross-site scripting (XSS), among others.

This course begins with an introduction to classic web vulnerabilities such as command injections and broken authentication using DVWA labs, followed by in-depth sections on sensitive data exposure, XXE, and insecure deserialization. Learners will explore practical prevention techniques from a developer’s perspective and take a deep dive into advanced XXE and XSS techniques. The course continues by analyzing the OWASP Mobile Top 10 and API Top 10 security risks, including improper platform use, insecure storage, insufficient cryptography, and API asset management. Learners also gain hands-on experience through Postman-based API hacking demos and a range of real-world attack demonstrations covering injection flaws, misconfigurations, and more.

The course delivers hands-on, end-to-end coverage of OWASP’s web, mobile, and API risks, arming learners with real techniques and tools to secure modern digital applications.
