Challenge
Authentication Bypass and Data Extraction via SQL Injection
You'll test the API's authentication mechanisms and data access controls by exploiting SQL injection vulnerabilities. You'll learn to identify authentication bypass techniques, test for Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR), and perform advanced SQL injection attacks to extract sensitive database information.

Real skill practice before real-world application
Hands-on Labs are real environments created by industry experts to help you learn. These environments help you gain knowledge and experience, practice without compromising your system, test without risk, destroy without fear, and let you learn from your mistakes. Hands-on Labs: practice your skills before delivering in the real world.
Learn by doing
Engage hands-on with the tools and technologies you’re learning. You pick the skill, we provide the credentials and environment.
Follow your guide
All labs have detailed instructions and objectives, guiding you through the learning process and ensuring you understand every step.
Turn time into mastery
On average, you retain 75% more of your learning if you take time to practice. Hands-on labs set you up for success to make those skills stick.
