Course Overview

In today's digital world, web application security is more critical than ever. In this course," you’ll gain hands-on experience uncovering vulnerabilities and exploiting them in controlled environments — all with the goal of understanding how attackers think and how to defend against them. 

The course begins with Website Penetration Testing, where you’ll learn how attackers exploit basic vulnerabilities such as code execution, file uploads, and file inclusion. You’ll see firsthand how these weaknesses can lead to full server compromise if left unaddressed. Next, we dive into MySQL manipulation, where you’ll gain a solid understanding of database operations. You’ll practice inserting, updating, deleting data, and performing advanced SQL queries with conditions, UNION operations, and schema exploration — preparing you to recognize database flaws and misuse. Finally, in the SQL Injection module, we bring it all together. You’ll learn to identify SQL injection vulnerabilities in both GET and POST methods, bypass login forms, and extract sensitive data from backend databases. You’ll also use powerful tools like SQLMap to automate complex injections and learn how attackers can read or write files directly on the server. 

By the end of this course, you’ll have a complete understanding of how web application vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited — and the skills to secure them. Whether you're an aspiring ethical hacker, penetration tester, or cybersecurity enthusiast, this course will elevate your practical knowledge.
