Advanced Web Attacks and Exploitation (WEB-300)

Advanced Web Attacks and Exploitation (WEB-300) is an intermediate to advanced course commonly offered to cybersecurity professionals who want to deepen their understanding of web application vulnerabilities and how to exploit them. This course is intended to go beyond the basics and provide students with a more detailed insight into the complex vulnerabilities and attack techniques that threaten modern web applications.

Key Topics Covered in WEB-300

• Authentication Bypass: Understanding methods to circumvent authentication mechanisms on web applications.

• Advanced SQL Injection: Techniques for exploiting complex SQL injection vulnerabilities, including blind, time-based, and out-of-band methods.

• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Attacks: Crafting sophisticated XSS payloads to hijack user sessions or deface web pages.

• Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): Methods to exploit CSRF vulnerabilities, which can lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of authenticated users.

• Remote Code Execution (RCE): Discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities that allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server side of a web application.

• Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF): Exploiting SSRF vulnerabilities to induce the server to make requests to unintentional locations.

Exploitation Frameworks and Tools

Throughout the course, a variety of tools and frameworks are used, such as:

• Metasploit: For developing, testing, and executing exploit code against a remote target machine.

• Burp Suite: An integrated platform for performing security testing of web applications to identify vulnerabilities and exploit them.

• BeEF (Browser Exploitation Framework): A penetration testing tool focused on the web browser, to assess the actual security posture of a targeted environment.

Who Should Take WEB-300

• Security professionals and penetration testers seeking to specialize in web application security.

• Developers are interested in learning about security from an attacker's perspective to build more secure applications.

• IT professionals are responsible for maintaining the security posture of web applications within an organization.

Pre-requisites for WEB-300

Participants should have a basic understanding of web technologies (HTTP, HTML, JavaScript) and prior experience with penetration testing tools and techniques. It is also helpful to have a working knowledge of various attack vectors and defenses related to web security.

As web applications continue to be integral to business operations, the skills learned in WEB-300 become increasingly valuable for protecting critical online assets against sophisticated cyber threats.
