Prerequisites
The minimum level of skills required for participants to successfully complete this course include:

 

  • Basic Knowledge of Web Technologies: You should have a fundamental understanding of web technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and server-side scripting languages. This knowledge will provide a foundation for understanding web application security concepts.
  • Familiarity with Web Application Architecture: A basic understanding of how web applications are structured and function is essential. You should be familiar with concepts such as client-server architecture, HTTP protocols, and how data is transmitted between the client and server.
  • Basic Programming Skills: While not mandatory, basic programming skills would be beneficial. Familiarity with a programming language such as Python, Java, or JavaScript will enable you to better grasp the technical aspects of web application vulnerabilities and their exploitation.
  • General Cybersecurity Awareness: You should have a basic understanding of cybersecurity principles, including concepts such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Familiarity with common security terms and practices will aid in comprehending the importance of web application security.

While prior experience in web application security or cybersecurity is not a prerequisite, having a solid foundation in the above areas will help you engage with the course content more effectively and grasp the core concepts of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and their exploitation.

The focus this course placed on real-world, experiential learning and understandable explanations, was what I found most appealing. In addition to covering theoretical ideas, the training offered chances to apply them in practical settings. I was able to acquire useful abilities and insights from this hands-on method that I could use right away. The easy-to-understand explanations also made it easier for me to understand difficult concepts, which made learning pleasurable.

Having labs as the main material to drive learning. I've seen quite a few Top Ten learning courseware, and most don't take advantage of the power that doing has over reading.
