SANS SEC642: Advanced Web App Penetration Testing, Ethical Hacking, and Exploitation Techniques 2015

Can your web apps stand up to modern advanced attack techniques?

Modern web applications use exciting new technologies and support critical operations. The days of basic requests and responses are over. The complexity of modern web applications is growing at a rapid pace. With the demands of highly available web clusters and cloud deployment, web applications are looking to deliver more function in smaller packets. The era includes tricked-out cryptography, WebSockets, and a lot more. Are you ready to evaluate these new technologies and make them more secure?

Are you ready to take your web apps to the test?

The advanced skills and techniques required to test modern web applications are taught in this pen testing course. The course uses a combination of lecture, real-world experiences, and hands-on exercises to teach you the techniques to test the security of tried-and-true internal enterprise web technologies, as well as cutting-edge Internet-facing applications. The Capture the Flag competition is where you will apply the knowledge you have learned during the previous five days in a fun environment based on real-world technologies.

There is hands-on learning of advanced web app exploitation skills.

All modern-day complex applications may be vulnerable to advanced techniques and attacks. We will learn about new web frameworks and web backends, then we will look at practical cryptography used by the web, including techniques to identify the type of encryption in use within the application and methods for exploiting or abusing it. We will look at alternative front ends to web applications and web services such as mobile applications and examine new protocols. The class will focus on how to identify and circumvent web application firewalls and other protection techniques.
