Website Hacking From Scratch Overview

Website Hacking From Scratch equips you with a solid foundation in website security and hacking. Initially, you set up a penetration testing lab and learn basic Linux commands. Subsequently, the course covers essential website vulnerabilities such as file upload, code execution, local and remote file inclusions, and SQL injection. As you advance, you delve into Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), insecure session management, and brute force attacks. Ultimately, you gain hands-on experience with tools like OWASP ZAP for automatically discovering vulnerabilities and develop skills in post-exploitation techniques.

Learning Outcomes

• Set up and configure a penetration testing lab to conduct website security assessments.
• Master basic Linux commands essential for penetration testing.
• Understand fundamental website concepts to identify and exploit vulnerabilities.
• Identify and exploit file upload vulnerabilities to compromise website security.
• Recognise and exploit code execution vulnerabilities to gain unauthorised access.
• Differentiate between Local File Inclusion (LFI) and Remote File Inclusion (RFI) vulnerabilities and apply appropriate attack methods.
• Perform SQL Injection (SQLi) attacks on login pages and extract data from databases.
• Exploit advanced SQL Injection vulnerabilities to further penetrate and control the target system.
• Carry out Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks and understand their implications for website security.
• Utilise OWASP ZAP to automatically discover and analyse website vulnerabilities.
