About Web Application Pentesting

The first course in the learning path covers workstation setup, including installation and configuration of Burp Suite with the Firefox web browser. Certificate installation and proxy configurations are covered in order to allow newcomers to start pentesting immediately. The second course makes up the bulk of this learning path and focuses on the OWASP Top Ten vulnerabilities. Many real-world vulnerabilities are showcased for each of the ten topics and various demos are given on how to solve related challenges in both OWASP Juice Shop and Portswigger's Web Security Academy. The third course covers a variety of pentesting tools and Burp extensions such as Turbo Intruder, Intruder File Payload Generator, SQLMap and many more. The fourth course closes out the learning path with pentesting advice, a path recap and a look at the final project.
