Introduction to Web Applications  Fundamental

 Web Requests

Fundamental 9 Sections

Web applications provide a large potential attack surface and need to be secured properly. A firm grasp of the basics of how applications communicate is critical for anyone interested in learning how to assess and attack web applications.

 Introduction to Web Applications

Fundamental 17 Sections

In the Introduction to Web Applications module, you will learn all of the basics of how web applications work and begin to look at them from an information security perspective.

 Using Web Proxies

Easy 15 Sections

Web application penetration testing frameworks are an essential part of any web penetration test. This module will teach you two of the best frameworks: Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP.

 Information Gathering - Web Edition

Easy 10 Sections

This module covers techniques for identifying and analyzing an organization's web application-based attack surface and tech stack. Information gathering is an essential part of any web application penetration test, and it can be performed either passively or actively.

 Attacking Web Applications with Ffuf

Easy 13 Sections

This module covers the fundamental enumeration skills of web fuzzing and directory brute forcing using the Ffuf tool. The techniques learned in this module will help us in locating hidden pages, directories, and parameters when targeting web applications.

 JavaScript Deobfuscation

Easy 11 Sections

This module will take you step-by-step through the fundamentals of JavaScript Deobfuscation until you can deobfuscate basic JavaScript code and understand its purpose.

 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Easy 10 Sections

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities are among the most common web application vulnerabilities. An XSS vulnerability may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the target's browser and result in complete web application compromise if chained together with other vulnerabilities. This module will teach you how to identify XSS vulnerabilities and exploit them.

 SQL Injection Fundamentals

Medium 17 Sections

Databases are an important part of web application infrastructure and SQL (Structured Query Language) to store, retrieve, and manipulate information stored in them. SQL injection is a code injection technique used to take advantage of coding vulnerabilities and inject SQL queries via an application to bypass authentication, retrieve data from the back-end database, or achieve code execution on the underlying server.

 SQLMap Essentials

Easy 11 Sections

The SQLMap Essentials module will teach you the basics of using SQLMap to discover various types of SQL Injection vulnerabilities, all the way to the advanced enumeration of databases to retrieve all data of interest.

 Command Injections

Medium 12 Sections

Command injection vulnerabilities can be leveraged to compromise a hosting server and its entire network. This module will teach you how to identify and exploit command injection vulnerabilities and how to use various filter bypassing techniques to avoid security mitigations.

 Unrestricted File Upload

Medium 1 Sections

Unrestricted file upload vulnerabilities are among the most critical web vulnerabilities, as they can enable attackers to upload malicious files and execute arbitrary commands on the back-end server. This module will discuss the basics of identifying and exploiting unrestricted file upload vulnerabilities and how to evade basic security restrictions in place to achieve arbitrary file uploading.

 Attacking the Server Side

Medium 1 Sections

A backend that handles user-supplied input insecurely can lead to not only sensitive information disclosure but remote code execution as well. This module covers how to identify and exploit server-side bugs. Specifically, Server Side Request Forgery, Server Side Include and Server Side Template Injection attacks will be showcased, alongside other less common server-side attacks.

 Login Brute Forcing

Easy 11 Sections

Learn how to brute force logins for various types of services and create custom wordlists based on your target.

 Broken Authentication

Medium 14 Sections

Authentication is probably the simplest and most widespread measure used to secure access to resources, and it's the first line of defense against unauthorized access. Broken authentication is currently rated #2 on the OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks. A vulnerability or misconfiguration at the authentication stage can have a devastating impact on an application's overall security.

 Web Attacks

Medium 18 Sections

This module covers three common web vulnerabilities, HTTP Verb Tampering, IDOR, and XXE, each of which can have a significant impact on a company's systems. We will cover how to identify, exploit, and prevent each of them through various methods.

 File Inclusion / Directory Traversal

Medium 7 Sections

File Inclusion is a common web application vulnerability, which can be easily overlooked as part of a web application's functionality.

 Session Security

Medium 1 Sections

Maintaining and keeping track of a user's session is an integral part of web applications. It is also a part that needs extensive testing in order to be both robust and secure. This module covers the most common attacks against web application sessions, such as Cross-site Request Forgery and Session Hijacking.

 Web Service Implementations & Attacks

Medium 1 Sections

Web services are frequently exposed in order to provide certain functionalities through a programmatic way, between heterogeneous devices and software components. They either facilitate the integration between applications or the separation within a given application. This module covers how to identify the functionality a web service offers and also how to exploit any security-related inefficiencies.

 Hacking WordPress

Easy 16 Sections

WordPress is an open-source Content Management System (CMS) that can be used for multiple purposes.

 Bug Bounty Hunting Methodology

Easy 1 Sections

Bug Bounty programs encourage security researchers to identify bugs and submit vulnerability reports. Getting into the world of Bug Bounty Hunting without any prior experience can be a daunting task though. This module covers a proven methodology that will help you start Bug Bounty Hunting in a methodical and well-structured way. It's all about effectiveness and professionally communicating your findings.
