Course Details
Course Overview
Welcome to the Web Application Penetration Testing & Bug Bounty course. This training is specifically tailored for security enthusiasts who want to specialize in web and API security, or transition into full-time bug bounty hunting.
As web architectures shift to complex single-page apps (SPAs) and decentralized microservices, the attack surface expands, creating a massive demand for skilled application security engineers.
Why Choose This Course?
- Real Bug Bounty Focus: We focus on real-world bug bounty hunting methodology rather than purely academic scanning.
- Advanced APIs and JWTs: Master modern app features like OAuth, JWT tokens, and GraphQL endpoints.
- Burp Suite Professional Sandbox: Learn how to use professional tools efficiently to scan and exploit targets.
Course Syllabus Details
We begin by mastering HTTP mechanics and configuring proxy setups using Burp Suite. You will then systematically explore various OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, write your own exploits, and learn mitigation strategies. By the end, we walk through asset reconnaissance automation scripting to help you scale your testing.
