Essential OWASP Security Testing for Web and APIs

Dive into the critical world of OWASP security testing with our hands-on course designed for beginners and enthusiasts alike. This course unfolds the intricacies of Web Application and API Security Testing, presenting a well-structured pathway that guides you through foundational concepts to practical applications.

Throughout the course, you’ll engage with real-world vulnerable applications, learning how to identify security flaws in both web applications and APIs. You’ll gain hands-on experience using industry-standard tools like Burp Suite, Vooki, and Nmap, while interacting with a knowledgeable instructor and fellow learners in a live session format. We encourage you to preview our free introductory videos to grasp the teaching style and material fully.

Moreover, this course doesn’t just focus on theory; you’ll actively set up and exploit vulnerable applications like OWASP Juice Shop and test Android applications to uncover security shortcomings. By the end of the journey, you will be well-equipped to understand, identify, and mitigate vulnerabilities in modern applications, instilling confidence in your security testing abilities.

What you will learn:

• Understand the basics of Web Client-Server architecture and 3-tier enterprise application models
• Learn what APIs are, their structure, and how REST & SOAP APIs work in real-world systems
• Gain in-depth knowledge of HTTP/HTTPS protocols, headers, cookies, and request-response cycles
• Explore and analyze OWASP Top 10 Web & API vulnerabilities through real-time hands-on exercises
• Set up and test popular vulnerable applications like OWASP Juice Shop, Web Goat, Parabank, and more
