Course Overview
The Web Application Hacking and Security (WAHS) Course is a practical, challenge-oriented training program that immerses learners in the world of web application security testing. The curriculum covers common web vulnerabilities, exploitation methodologies, and security controls — all through hands-on, Capture-The-Flag (CTF) style labs that simulate real-world hacking scenarios. Learners explore vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), misconfigurations, and other risks, while also learning how to defend applications through secure coding principles and risk mitigation strategies.
