This program is ideal for:

• Ethical hackers, penetration testers, and bug bounty hunters who want to master modern web application exploitation.
  
• Developers and DevSecOps engineers who build or maintain web applications and need to understand attacker methodologies.
  
• Security analysts, SOC specialists, and cybersecurity professionals responsible for web application protection or vulnerability management.
  
• Students or professionals preparing for advanced EC-Council certifications such as CEH (Practical) or LPT (Master).
  

Common roles include:

Penetration Tester • Web Application Security Engineer • Ethical Hacker • Security Analyst • DevSecOps Specialist

There are no strict prerequisites, but EC-Council recommends:

• Familiarity with network fundamentals and web technologies (HTML, HTTP, REST APIs).
  
• Basic knowledge of ethical hacking or equivalent to CEH level experience.
  
• Comfort using tools such as Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, or Kali Linux.
  
• Completion of EC-Council’s Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) or Ethical Hacking Essentials (EHE) is highly recommended.

After completing this program, learners will be able to:

• Enumerate, scan, and exploit web applications using advanced hacking techniques.
  
• Identify and exploit vulnerabilities such as XSS, SQL injection, SSRF, and authentication flaws.
  
• Understand and secure modern web technologies, APIs, and microservice architectures.
  
• Chain multiple exploits to achieve privilege escalation or remote code execution.
  
• Perform web application penetration tests end-to-end, including reporting and remediation.
  
• Apply defensive countermeasures to secure web servers, frameworks, and application logic.
  
• Earn the EC-Council Web Application Hacking and Security (WAHS) certification to validate web exploitation expertise.

Web footprinting, subdomain enumeration, crawling, fuzzing, directory discovery, and OSINT.

ExploitationExploiting SQLi, XSS, CSRF, command injection, file upload flaws, SSRF, authentication bypasses, insecure deserialization, and API vulnerabilities.

Attacking modern frameworks (Node.js, Django, PHP), bypassing WAFs, chaining exploits, session hijacking, privilege escalation, and using exploitation frameworks like Metasploit.

Secure coding guidelines, patch management, WAF tuning, monitoring, and incident response techniques.
