Study WebSocket and WebRTC security considerations, JWT token attacks, and OAuth misconfigurations. Through hands-on labs, you'll exploit vulnerable applications and learn to chain multiple vulnerabilities for maximum impact.
Dive deeper into sophisticated client-side attacks including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), Clickjacking, and DOM-based vulnerabilities. Master prototype pollution and JavaScript exploitation techniques to compromise modern web applications. Explore race conditions and Time-of-Check-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) bugs that can lead to critical security flaws. Learn HTTP Request Smuggling techniques, cache poisoning attacks, and web cache deception methods. Understand WebAssembly security considerations in modern applications. Apply your skills to real-world bug bounty scenarios and learn professional vulnerability disclosure practices.
Develop expertise in securing both Android and iOS mobile applications through comprehensive APK and IPA analysis and reverse engineering. Master mobile API security testing techniques and identify common vulnerabilities in mobile-backend communications. Investigate insecure data storage patterns and cryptography implementation issues that plague mobile applications. Learn to bypass certificate pinning protections and use the Frida framework for dynamic instrumentation and runtime manipulation. Conduct mobile malware analysis to understand threat actor techniques. Through intensive labs, you'll reverse engineer real mobile applications, exploit mobile-specific vulnerabilities, and develop secure mobile coding practices.
Master Amazon Web Services security architecture and understand the shared responsibility model that defines cloud security boundaries. Learn IAM privilege escalation techniques and how to identify and exploit misconfigurations in identity and access management. Discover S3 bucket misconfigurations and exploitation methods that have led to major data breaches. Secure serverless architectures including Lambda functions and understand their unique attack surface. Protect EC2 instances and containerized workloads while understanding common cloud security pitfalls. Analyze CloudTrail logs for threat detection and incident response. Through hands-on labs, you'll exploit real cloud misconfigurations and learn to architect secure AWS environments following industry best practices.
Expand your cloud security expertise to Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. Master Azure Active Directory (now Entra ID) security and learn attack techniques specific to Microsoft's identity platform. Secure Azure storage accounts and compute resources while understanding Azure-specific vulnerabilities. Explore Google Cloud Platform's IAM system and service account abuse scenarios that can lead to privilege escalation. Understand multi-cloud security considerations and how to maintain consistent security posture across different cloud providers. Deep dive into Kubernetes security including RBAC configurations, pod security policies, and network policies. Learn container escape techniques and how to prevent them. Conduct cloud red teaming exercises to test your offensive and defensive cloud security skills.
Learn to integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle with shift-left security approaches that catch vulnerabilities early. Secure CI/CD pipelines and understand how to prevent supply chain attacks in automated deployment systems. Master Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security scanning to identify misconfigurations before they reach production. Implement proper secret management using vault solutions and eliminate hardcoded credentials. Integrate Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), and Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tools into development workflows. Perform container image scanning and ensure supply chain security for dependencies. Through practical labs, you'll build secure CI/CD pipelines and implement automated security gates that maintain velocity while improving security posture.
Master security architectures for serverless and cloud-native applications that leverage modern cloud services. Design and implement secure API Gateway patterns that protect backend services while maintaining performance. Understand service mesh security using tools like Istio and Linkerd to secure microservice communications. Implement cloud-native threat detection systems that can identify and respond to attacks in real-time. Learn Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) and Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP) concepts to maintain continuous security visibility. Through hands-on labs, you'll design and secure complete cloud-native applications using modern architectural patterns and security best practices.
Apply everything you've learned in a comprehensive capstone project that simulates real-world security assessments. Tackle cross-discipline attack scenarios that require knowledge from all previous phases. Conduct full-stack application security assessments covering web, mobile, API, and cloud infrastructure components. Perform integrated testing that combines mobile application analysis with API security testing and cloud infrastructure review. Learn professional vulnerability disclosure and reporting practices that meet industry standards. Your capstone project will be a complete application security assessment with detailed findings, risk ratings, and comprehensive remediation guidance that demonstrates your readiness for professional security work.
