Course Description

CEHv13 – Module 14 – Hacking Web Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the security challenges faced by web applications today. In this module, you will learn how attackers exploit vulnerabilities such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and SQL Injection to gain unauthorized access to systems and data. Through hands-on labs, you will practice performing penetration testing and vulnerability assessments on real-world web applications.

One of the key focuses of this module is identifying common attack vectors such as Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks and session hijacking, and understanding how they affect web application security. You will also learn how to secure web applications using techniques such as input validation, secure session management, and proper authentication protocols.

In addition to offensive tactics, the course emphasizes defensive strategies to protect web applications. You will explore secure coding practices and how to implement security measures to mitigate attacks. By the end of this module, you will be able to effectively identify vulnerabilities, exploit weaknesses, and protect web applications from the most common and dangerous attacks.
