What you'll learn

Modern web applications are complex, and so are the vulnerabilities they hide. In this course, Web App Pen Testing: Vulnerability Discovery, you’ll learn to perform practical security assessments that reveal real-world weaknesses. First, you’ll explore how to uncover hidden content and sensitive endpoints. Next, you’ll discover how to analyze authentication and session mechanisms for misconfigurations. Finally, you’ll learn how to test client-side components through source code analysis. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of web application penetration testing needed to identify and report impactful security findings, and most importantly, you'll develop the attacker's mindset.
