COURSE OUTLINE

The course is heavily lab-based.

Day 1: Setting up, Tooling Up, Arming Up.

- on day 1 we help delegates locate areas of applications they may easily miss. We advise them on the best pre written burp extensions and describe the process of writing extensions

Day 2: Levelling Up

- on day 2 we walk delegates through the design vulnerabilities, covering Access Controls, Logic flaws, and how to really compromise encryption (no weak SSL ciphers or theoretical stuff here)

Day 3: Breaching the Server

- on day 3 we look at breaching the server using today's popular coding-related flaws: SSRF, Deserialisation, SSTI, File format exploitation, and Input Validation

Good knowledge of HTTP, HTML, Javascript and some working knowledge of web scripting languages

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Software Engineers, Quality Assurance teams as well as seasoned Web Application Testers or Consultants moving over from Infrastructure / Network assessment backgrounds

WHAT TO EXPECT

writing burp macros and writing Burp extensions
finding and exploiting subtle but common logic and access control flaws
techniques for getting more out of Burp Suite
solving common penetration testing pitfalls
beating input validation and other application defences
fuzzing techniques and methodologies for interacting with new technologies

WHAT NOT TO EXPECT

We do not provide access to the source for the labs
We do not provide a full year license to Burp Suite Professional
This course does NOT cover SQL Injection, File Traversal, or XSS. These topics are adequately covered, for free, elsewhere, and/or are relatively deprecated.
