OWASP Top 10: Discovering & Exploiting Web App Vulnerabilities

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. There are almost two billion web sites in the world today. Many of these sites are not sufficiently protected against attacks. In this course, you'll begin by learning how to install a sample vulnerable web application. Next, you'll explore how to use reconnaissance methods, such as nmap scanning and web app scanning using OWASP ZAP, to discover HTTP hosts and vulnerable applications. You'll learn how to execute attacks including XSS, CSRF, file injection, and denial of service. You'll move on to examine how to capture user keystrokes using a hardware keylogger and capture cleartext HTTP transmissions. Lastly, you'll learn how to forge fake TCP/IP packets and then deploy and secure a cloud-hosted web application.
