Web Security Fundamentals Workshop
About this course
This course is designed to give you a solid understanding of both the threat models of web-based attacks and also the knowledge to secure your own web applications. The journey of securing and defending must start with having a clear mental picture of how the web works. At the beginning of this course, you will dive into the basics of HTTP - the protocol that powers the web. Afterwards, we will focus on some of the most common vulnerabilities, understanding how to exploit them as well as learning how to properly protect your apps against them.
This course is designed to create and develop the hacker mindset. Participation is key! Throughout this course you will be guided through examples and hands-on exercises.
