Description
For the longest time, up until a few years ago, SQL Injection fell under the number one most critical security risk facing web applications today. Although the vulnerability itself is simple to learn and exploit, it can potentially lead to disastrous consequences that leave an organization open to severe risks such as sensitive information disclosure, authentication bypass and even remote code execution.
In this course, we dive into the technical details behind SQL Injection vulnerabilities, the different types of SQL injection vulnerabilities, how to find them from both a black-box and a white-box perspective and cover the different ways to exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities. We also go through prevention and mitigation techniques on how to prevent and mitigate these types of vulnerabilities.
This is not your average course that just teaches you the basics of SQL Injection. This course contains over 9 hours worth of content that not only describes the technical details behind SQL Injection vulnerabilities, but also contains 18 labs that give you hands-on experience exploiting real-world examples. The labs are of varying difficulty levels starting with really simple examples and slowly moving up in difficulty.
If you're a penetration tester, application security speciality, bug bounty hunter, software developer, ethical hacker, or just anyone interested in web application security, this course is for you!
Who this course is for:
