Syllabus

Introduction to the Course

In this module, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the course. You'll gain insights into what topics will be covered, how the course is structured, and the expected outcomes. This foundational knowledge will set the stage for your learning journey.

How Hackers Find SQL Injections in Minutes with Sqlmap

In this module, we will delve into the powerful tool, Sqlmap, used by hackers to find SQL injections quickly. You will learn the basics of Sqlmap through both theoretical overviews and practical demos, explore how to dump database entries, and understand the transition from SQL injection to remote code execution. Additionally, advanced testing techniques and methods to bypass web application firewalls will be covered.

Web Application Security Testing with Google Hacking

In this module, we will explore Google Hacking, a method used to find security vulnerabilities in web applications through advanced search techniques. You will learn how to uncover directory listings, SQL syntax errors, exposed backup files, internal server errors, and sensitive data in URLs. Case studies and practical examples will illustrate these concepts, along with strategies to prevent Google indexing.

Fuzzing with Burp Suite Intruder

In this module, we will cover the essentials of fuzzing and how to use Burp Suite Intruder for security testing. You will gain hands-on experience through demos on fuzzing for SQL injection and path traversal. Additionally, practical tips and advanced tricks will be shared to enhance your fuzzing techniques.

Exploiting Race Conditions with OWASP ZAP

In this module, we will explore the exploitation of race conditions using OWASP ZAP. Through detailed case studies, you will learn how attackers leverage multithreading conditions and reuse discount codes to steal money. The module includes in-depth discussions of award-winning race condition attacks, providing valuable insights into both offensive and defensive strategies.
