Advanced Web Attacks and Exploitation (WEB-300) is an advanced web application security review course. We teach the skills needed to conduct white box web app penetration tests.
In WEB-300, students will learn how to:
Perform a deep analysis on decompiled web app source code
Identify logical vulnerabilities that many enterprise scanners are unable to detect
Combine logical vulnerabilities to create a proof of concept on a web app
Exploit vulnerabilities by chaining them into complex attacks
This course can be taken as an option for skills specialization after completing PEN-200, but students should be comfortable reading and writing code in at least one language.
Students who complete the course and pass the exam earn the Offensive Security Web Expert (OSWE) certification, demonstrating mastery in exploiting front-facing web apps. The OSWE is one of three certifications making up the new OSCE³ certification, along with the OSEP for advanced pentesting and the OSED for exploit development.
Learning Objectives
Performing advanced web app source code auditing
Analyzing code, writing scripts, and exploiting web vulnerabilities
Implementing multi-step, chained attacks using multiple vulnerabilities
Using creative and lateral thinking to determine innovative ways of exploiting web vulnerabilities
