Web Application Hacking Security Program W|AHS

Web Application Hacking and Security has challenges derived from the iLab environments of EC Council – from Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) to the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (C|PENT); from Certified Application Security Engineer (C|ASE) .Net to Java. But Web Application Hacking and Security goes beyond this to more difficult scenarios as you advance through each problem.

Web Application Hacking and Security is like Capture-The-Flag (CTF) competitions meant to test your hacking skills. But you can keep on trying until you achieve the goal. Test your skills and work alone to solve complex problems or follow the instructor as he does walkthroughs to help you learn Web Application Hacking and Security.

Why Mastery of Web Application Security is Importan

Most of the work we do on a day-to-day basis uses cloud-based apps that are vulnerable to cyber-attacks.

There are currently 43,986 exploits (and growing) in the Google Hacking Database1 and the total number of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) is at a record high with over 18,000 published in 2020 alone!

Now, with so many published vulnerabilities, it is important to learn to defend and secure your web applications. Traditional protections like firewalls alone do not secure web applications. Defenders need a deep understanding of the most critical security risks to web applications such as the OWASP Top 10. And what better way to learn to gain familiarity and defend than to attack!

Challenge

You will encounter security misconfigurations, SQL injection vulnerabilities, directory browsing vulnerabilities, enumeration vulnerabilities, and opportunities to escalate privileges and gain access to privileged information.

Each section of ‘Break the Code’ brings progressively more difficult challenges. There are always multiple paths to take, but few will get you the prize and move you up the leader board.

Exam Outcomes

A fully online, remotely proctored practical exam that challenges candidates through a grueling 6-hour performance-based, hands-on exam. The exam assesses candidates’ skills and proficiencies on a broad spectrum of OWASP Top-10 web application vulnerabilities and attack vectors. The assessment is not limited to only the understanding of automated exploitation frameworks but requires a deep understating of various web application technologies, their inherent and acquired vulnerabilities, and manual exploitation techniques.

CERTIFICATION

The exam focuses on candidates’ proficiencies in performing a web application security assessment in real life stressful scenarios. Candidates who score more than 60% will earn the Certified Web Application Security Associate certification, candidates who score more than 75% will be awarded the Certified Web Application Security Professional certification and candidates who score more than 90% attain the prestigious Certified Web Application Security Expert certification!
