Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Lab Description

This lab focuses on real-world web application security assessment techniques, simulating how attackers discover and exploit vulnerabilities. Through a series of guided exercises, you will start by identifying HTTP methods using Nmap and perform web reconnaissance with tools like WhatWeb and Dirb.

Next, you'll configure Burp Suite to intercept and analyze web traffic and simulate brute-force attacks. Using Hydra, you'll perform automated credential guessing and later combine it with command injection to explore unauthorized access techniques. The lab then shifts to manual and automated SQL injection, including hands-on use of SQLMap to extract data from insecure databases.

You will also explore XML injection, reflected and stored XSS attacks, and assess HTML5 Web Storage vulnerabilities. Finally, using XSSer, you'll test a web application's resilience to cross-site scripting. Each exercise not only demonstrates the exploitation process but also emphasizes the importance of identifying and mitigating these security risks effectively.
