Overview
Have you ever thought of hacking web applications for fun and profit? How about playing with authentic, award-winning security bugs identified in some of the greatest companies? If that sounds interesting, join this unique 100% hands-on training!
Your instructor and course author Dawid Czagan will discuss security bugs found in a number of bug bounty programs (including Google, Yahoo, Mozilla, Twitter and others). You will learn how bug hunters think and how to hunt for security bugs effectively.
To be successful in bug hunting, you need to go beyond automated scanners. If you are not afraid of going into detail and diving into full-stack exploitation, then this 100% hands-on training is for you. There is a lab exercise for each attack presented in this training + students can take the complete lab environment home after the training session.
