Description
It’s possible for an attacker to get some control over a website or web application if there’s a flaw or mistake in the code that makes it easy for them to do so. There are a lot of common web application flaws that can happen because people write bad code or use bad software. Some examples are SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Command Execution, File Injection, Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and so on.
Kali Linux is a type of Linux that is good at cybersecurity. It is an open-source product that can be changed a lot for penetration testing, which helps businesses figure out where their systems might be at risk. It is run and paid for by Offensive Security.
People who want to do bad things to web applications can use a web application firewall (WAF) to keep them safe from things like cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, cookie poisoning, and more. There are a lot of attacks on apps because they are the gateway to your important data.
In this class, you will learn about web application ethical hacking techniques, as well as how to use some Kali Linux tools.
