Security 542: Web App Penetration Testing and Ethical Hacking (GIAC: GWAPT)

•  Taught by SANS Certified Instructor, Pieter Danhieux

Assess Your Web Apps in Depth

Testing the security of Web applications is not as simple as just knowing what SQL injection and cross-site scripting mean. Successful testers understand that methodical, thorough testing is the best means of finding the vulnerabilities within the applications. This requires a deep understanding of how Web applications work and what attack vectors are available. This course provides that understanding by examining the various parts of a Web application penetration. When teaching the class, I especially enjoy the use of real-world exercises and the in-depth exploration of Web penetration testing. - Kevin Johnson, Course Author

Both of the above courses are associated with GIAC (Global Information Assurance Certification).
