Description

Bug Bounty Hunting: Ethical Hacking & Web Pentesting Guide is a practical course designed to help you understand how web applications and APIs are tested from an ethical hacking and penetration testing perspective. The course covers the complete process from information gathering and reconnaissance to vulnerability discovery, exploitation, vulnerability chaining, and professional report writing. You will learn how to use tools such as Burp Suite and apply a structured methodology while testing web applications in practical lab environments.

Throughout the course, you will learn and practice a wide range of web application vulnerabilities, including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection, Command Injection, Path Traversal/Directory Traversal, Local File Inclusion (LFI), Remote File Inclusion (RFI), File Upload Vulnerabilities, Sensitive Data Exposure, Authentication and Session Management vulnerabilities, Access Control vulnerabilities, Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), Open Redirect, Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), Host Header Attacks, Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI), XML External Entity (XXE) Injection, Business Logic vulnerabilities, Web Cache Poisoning, Insecure Deserialization, Race Conditions, API security vulnerabilities, JWT-related security issues, and LLM Security. The course also introduces vulnerability chaining and explains how multiple weaknesses can interact within a real-world application.
