NEW WEB APPLICATION PENTESTING LEARNING PATH!

Introducing Web Application Pentesting - our brand new learning path offering
the essential building blocks and advanced techniques necessary for impactful
security testing work!

With many organisations relying on web-based systems, the need to find, analyse,
and remediate vulnerabilities in web applications is more critical than ever.
This is where our Web Application Pentesting path comes in!

Keep reading to discover:


 * Who the training is for: Those with experience in cyber security, web
   development, and aspiring penetration testers, red teamers, and more!
 * What it covers: New web development technologies, pentesting methodology,
   vulnerability scanning, and much more.
 * How it can help you: Transition to a Web Application Pentester role, advance
   in your career, and even increase bug bounty earnings!
   

Launch Web App Pentesting path!


WHAT DOES THE WEB APPLICATION PENTESTING LEARNING PATH COVER?

Uncover the secrets of web application penetration testing and gain the skills
to tackle real-world vulnerabilities! You’ll transition from handling basic
exploits to mastering these critical skills:

 1. Modern Web Development Technologies: Gain familiarity with emerging
    frameworks and how to identify vulnerabilities unique to these environments.
 2. Pentesting Methodology: Develop a structured approach to penetration testing
    that ensures thorough coverage of a web application.
 3. Differentiating from Vulnerability Scanning: Understand the importance of
    skilled pentesting, highlighting the differences and added value over basic
    vulnerability scanning.

These skills will allow you to show significant impact in real-world scenarios,
setting you apart as an advanced penetration tester with in-depth knowledge of
the modern web security landscape.

Whether you're aiming to become a Red Teamer or secure a position as a
Penetration Tester, our new Web Application Pentesting learning path is designed
to provide you with the skills, techniques, and insights required to excel in
these roles.


WHAT WILL I LEARN?

In the Web Application Pentesting learning path, you will explore:


 * Web Application Pentesting: Prepare to elevate your cyber security expertise.
   Learn to identify, exploit, and mitigate critical web vulnerabilities that
   impact modern applications.
 * Authentication Attacks: Explore how to test and secure login mechanisms,
   prevent unauthorised access, and reinforce user session security against
   threats.
 * Injection Attacks: Understand the techniques threat actors use to manipulate
   input fields, exploit application weaknesses, and cause unintended effects.
 * Advanced Server-Side Attacks: Dive deep into identifying and exploiting
   server-side vulnerabilities, revealing how attackers can leak data and gain
   unauthorised access.
 * Advanced Client-Side Attacks: Discover how attackers target users by
   injecting malicious scripts, bypassing client-side protections, and
   exploiting application flaws.
 * HTTP Request Smuggling: Master sophisticated methods used by attackers to
   manipulate HTTP requests, taking advantage of server processing
   vulnerabilities.

WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS TRAINING?

After completing this training, you’ll be empowered to transition to a Web
Application Pentester role, advance in your career, and even increase bug bounty
earnings!


Demonstrate mastery of web application security to move beyond junior roles,
gain the skills necessary to apply for higher positions in penetration testing,
and identify higher-impact vulnerabilities, leading to better rewards. In
addition, by creating impactful proof-of-concept exploits, you can show clients
or employers the real consequences of security flaws!


Check out our learning path roadmap (below) for an idea of which learning paths
you should take next!


WHO IS THIS LEARNING PATH FOR?

The Web Application Pentesting learning path is perfect for those with 0-3 years
of experience in cyber security or web development, who are looking to build on
their knowledge of advanced techniques necessary for impactful security testing.

The path is highly beneficial for several other roles in cyber security and web
development, including:

 * Aspiring Penetration Testers and Red Teamers looking to supercharge the
   skills, techniques, and insights required to excel in these roles.
 * Web Developers looking to create secure applications with fewer
   vulnerabilities
 * Security Consultants who provide strategic advice but want to deepen their
   technical understanding
 * Security Analysts and Engineers aiming to enhance their practical knowledge
   of application security
 * Bug Bounty Hunters interested in finding high-impact vulnerabilities

This path enables broader skill-building in web application security, from
hands-on practice to strategic, big-picture understanding, by catering to a
variety of roles!


PATH PREREQUISITES

To get the most out of this path, a basic foundation in a few key areas can
greatly enhance your experience and help you advance more smoothly. Here’s what
will set you up for success:

 * Grasp of client-side and server-side code and frameworks: You don’t need to
   be a coder, but having a sense of how these languages are structured will
   help you understand vulnerabilities and how attackers might exploit them.
 * Experience using proxy tools: You may have used proxies to inspect or tweak
   HTTP requests. Here, you'll dive deeper, using proxies to explore, analyse,
   and eventually exploit more complex scenarios.
 * Basic exploitation skills: If you’ve experimented with simple applications,
   this path will take you beyond individual vulnerabilities to identify and
   chain together weaknesses across entire systems.
