Website Pentesting

Welcome to my course on Website & Web applications Hacking! This course assumes you have NO prior knowledge in hacking and by the end of it you’ll be at a high level, being able to hack websites like black-hat hackers and secure them like security experts!

This course is highly practical but it won’t neglect the theory, first you’ll learn how to install the needed software (works on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X) and then we’ll start with basics about how websites work, the different components that make a website, the technologies used, and then we’ll dive into website hacking straight away. From here onwards you’ll learn everything by example, by discovering vulnerabilities and exploiting them to hack into websites, so we’ll never have any dry boring theoretical lectures.

Before jumping into hacking, you’ll first learn how to gather comprehensive information about your target website, then the course is divided into a number of sections, each section covers how to discover, exploit and mitigate a common web application vulnerability, for each vulnerability you will first learn the basic exploitation, then you will learn advanced techniques to bypass security, escalate your privileges, access the database, and even use the hacked websites to hack into other websites on the same server.

You will learn how and why these vulnerabilities are exploitable, how to fix them and what are the right practices to avoid causing them.
