Burp Suite Bug Bounty Web Hacking from Scratch

Learn how to download and install Burp Suite, compare community and professional editions, and run the setup using an executable or plain jar across Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Install the broken web application project in a virtual box, import the virtual machine, log in as root, and explore vulnerable web apps for manual security testing.

Install bee-box, a pre-installed Linux VM with bWAPP, to practice web vulnerabilities and ethical hacking, aligned with the OWASP top 10, access bwapp at 192.168.1.106, and log in with bee/bug.

Explore the two types of bug bounty programs: public programs, open to all researchers with defined scope and rules of engagement, and private programs, invite-only for vetted researchers.

Learn to widen program scope, select valid targets, and use automated scanning and fuzzing of input parameters to map applications and craft strong proofs of concept.

Learn how to become a bug bounty hunter by starting with small programs, focusing on web and mobile apps, forming a team, practicing, reporting, networking, and staying updated.

Discover Burp Suite, a Java-based web application security testing tool by PortSwigger, featuring proxy, scanner, intruder, spider, repeater, decoder, comparer, extender, and sequencer, with free and professional editions.

Define in-scope web application targets in Burp Suite using the scope tab, including host ranges, ports, and files, guided by regular expressions.

Explore the Burp Suite proxy tab to intercept and inspect browser requests, using the intercept, HTTP history, and WebSocket history under the options tab.

Configure Burp Suite proxy to intercept HTTP requests, set Firefox to 127.0.0.1:8080, inspect headers and cookies, and learn to drop requests or import the SSL certificate.

Learn to import the Burp CA certificate and trust it in your browser to enable https interception. Configure Burp as the proxy and import the CA in Firefox.

Discover how Burp Suite Repeater provides a text-based interface to modify and replay single requests, enabling rapid testing of cross-eyed scripting and analysis of request and response messages.

Master Burp Suite decoder to encode and decode web traffic using base64, ascii, hex, and smart decoding to reveal hidden data.

Learn to use Burp Suite comparer to identify differences between two responses, spotting added, modified, or deleted content, and apply this to testing for injection and varying user inputs.

Explore how Burp Suite Sequencer tests session token randomness by capturing values, removing cookies, and sending repeated requests to reveal entropy patterns and test results.

Explore how supplemental engagement tools in Burp Suite aid information gathering, content discovery, and target proofing, including searching, exporting comments, scripts, and brute-forcing directories.

Explore broken authentication and insecure session management, including how cookies and session tokens can be hijacked and how to invalidate sessions to prevent session fixation.

discover how to bypass a login page with SQL injection by testing vulnerable login forms and crafting payloads like admin' or 1=1 to bypass authentication.

Learn to prevent broken authentication and session management vulnerabilities by defending against credential stuffing and brute force, enforcing strong passwords, and deploying a secure session manager that issues fresh tokens.

Identify insecure direct object reference (idor) vulnerabilities and how to test access to user profiles by manipulating ids in urls.

Learn how insecure direct object references enable IDOR vulnerabilities by manipulating page and file parameters to access unauthorized files, demonstrated with a real-world web app.

explain how security misconfiguration stems from insecure options, poor documentation, and application logic flaws, with examples like hiding pages and failing to disable access, risking disclosure and directory traversal.

Uncover security misconfiguration on admin pages and reveal hidden pages by testing with brute-force, dictionary, and password guessing attacks. Use intruder to probe target pages and expose secret configurations.

Explain directory listing vulnerabilities caused by web server misconfigurations, and how missing index files reveal directory contents and expose database credentials such as host, username, password, and database name.

Explore SQL injection vulnerability fundamentals and how dynamic SQL statements can be manipulated to reveal or modify data, using payloads and union-based techniques.

Learn to identify sql injection vulnerabilities by testing inputs, recognizing error messages, and understanding how unsanitized input can let attackers dump or modify data.

Explore multiple ways to find and exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications, learn fuzzing, backslash escaping, and how backend logic reveals data, using burp suite.

Learn how cross-site scripting allows user input to run JavaScript in web apps, with reflected, stored, and dom-based XSS impacting cookies, sessions, and user data.

Demonstrates a reflected XSS vulnerability in a search form by using Burp Suite to intercept requests, inject JavaScript payloads, and verify the attack in the response.

Explore xss vulnerability testing across low, medium, and high security levels, executing JavaScript payloads to observe reflected and dom-based exploits, and learn how attackers exploit stored payloads.

Explore how reflected xss enables credential theft via malicious email links, and learn prevention through input validation and careful verification of promotional urls before clicking.
