Curriculum
Structured modules designed for progressive skill development and real-world application.
Introduction to API Security
Understand API fundamentals, security concepts, common threats, and why APIs are a high-value target in modern applications.
How to Interact with an API
Learn how APIs work in real environments, including request methods, headers, parameters, and response handling.
Real-World API Breaches
Analyze major real-world API breaches to understand attack patterns, mistakes, and lessons learned.
The 3 Pillars of API Security
Deep dive into confidentiality, integrity, and availability in the context of API security.
API Security Technology Landscape
Explore tools, platforms, and technologies used to secure APIs, including gateways, monitoring, and protection solutions.
API Pentesting Lab Setup
Set up a complete hands-on lab environment for API testing using real-world tools and vulnerable APIs.
API Pentesting Recon
Master reconnaissance techniques to identify endpoints, parameters, versions, and undocumented APIs.
Endpoint Analysis
Learn how to analyze API endpoints to discover vulnerabilities, logic flaws, and weak input validation.
Scanning APIs
Use automated and manual techniques to scan APIs for common and advanced security issues.
OWASP API Security Top 10 (2019)
Understand and exploit vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP API Top 10 (2019) with practical examples.
OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023)
Learn the latest OWASP API Top 10 (2023) risks and how attackers exploit them in real-world APIs.
API Authentication Attacks
Exploit weaknesses in API authentication mechanisms, including JWT, OAuth, and token misconfigurations.
Exploiting API Authorization
Identify and exploit authorization flaws such as BOLA, BFLA, and privilege escalation issues.
Improper Assets Management
Learn how mismanaged API assets expose sensitive data and how attackers discover forgotten or deprecated APIs.
Mass Assignment Attack
Understand and exploit mass assignment vulnerabilities to manipulate backend objects and data.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Discover SSRF vulnerabilities in APIs and learn how to exploit internal services and cloud metadata.
Injection Attacks
Perform injection attacks such as SQL, NoSQL, and command injections in API environments.
Evasion & Combining Techniques
Learn how to bypass security controls by chaining multiple vulnerabilities and evasion techniques.
Pentesting Documentation
Create professional pentesting reports and documentation used in real-world security engagements.
API Security and Firewall
Understand API firewalls, WAFs, and protection mechanisms, and learn techniques to test and bypass them.
