Burp Suite contains an array of tools for penetration testing and finding vulnerabilities, and is mainly used on web applications. This course will show you how to use the suite of tools to detect vulnerabilities that cause web applications to be compromised. This is a hands-on course that gets you using the tools on examples right away. Learn by doing!

The course starts with a demonstration of how to set up a project in Burp Suite and work with the various modules it includes. Then it shows you how to use it to identify information-disclosure vulnerabilities and expose sites leaking sensitive information. We cover insecure decentralization vulnerability and how to expose it; testing web sockets for vulnerabilities; and how to simulate the directory traversal attack and read files that are running. And we cap it off with a look at other types of attacks, including the external entity injection (XXE), cross-site scripting (XSS), and SQL injections.

When you finish this course, you will have all the skills you need to test web applications for vulnerabilities!
