Ethical Hacking - Python vs DVWA

Python goes up against Damn Vulnerable Web Application - who would win this battle???

What if you had to pentest DVWA - and all your tools were taken away?  The only thing you have is Python, and IDE, and browser.  How effective could you be?

This course answers those questions as we work through over a dozen different objectives - all designed to pentest DVWA. 

Over the next few hours, we're going to have some fun and learn a few things as we approach conducting a penetration test against Damn Vulnerable Web Application.  The catch is that we'll be using nothing but Python code we write.  No other tools allowed...

After taking this course you'll be able to write console and desktop GUI applications to assist with penetration testing activities.

Best of all - you'll be writing your own scripts that duplicate the functionality of well-known testing tools like:

• Nmap

• Wireshark

• Burp Suite

• OWASP ZAP

• Metasploit

• And more!

Learn to detect and exploit OWASP Top Ten vulnerabilities using only Python!

• Insecure Design

• Broken Authorization

• Injection

• Security Misconfiguration

• Cryptographic Failures

• And more!

Each lesson is designed around a specific test scenario.  We describe the approach that will used and walk through the Python code we develop to meet the test objective.  Then we put our script into action against DVWA and see the results!

This is a fun exercise to build ethical hacking and Python coding skills:

• Excellent for security professionals interested in Python

• Equally good for Python professionals interested in security and ethical hacking

Let's answer the age old question - just how vulnerable is Damn Vulnerable Web Application?

DVWA sounds kind of weak. Python sounds strong and scary...like a dangerous animal.

Place your bets on the winner now....
