Course Overview

Modern web applications face increasingly sophisticated attacks that exploit weaknesses in access control, application configuration, user input handling, and third-party components. Understanding these vulnerabilities and implementing appropriate security controls is essential for developers, security analysts, and penetration testers. This course provides practical knowledge of advanced web application security concepts aligned with widely recognized OWASP guidance.

This course begins with broken access control, exploring unauthorized access techniques and methods to enforce secure authorization. It then examines security misconfiguration, including unnecessary services, unrestricted file uploads, and configuration best practices. The course continues with Cross-Site Scripting attacks, covering persistent, reflected, and DOM-based XSS along with effective prevention techniques. Learners also explore insecure deserialization, vulnerable software components, insufficient logging and monitoring, and conclude with automated web application security testing using Zed Attack Proxy, Burp Suite, Acunetix, and WPScan.

By the end of this course, you will be able to identify, assess, and mitigate advanced web application vulnerabilities using proven security practices and automated testing tools.
