What Will You Learn?

Unique in the security-training industry, Ultimate Web Hacking will show you not only the latest techniques for exploiting web-based applications, but also how to defend your organization against these weaknesses. Participants learn CGI, ASP, and Cold Fusion vulnerabilities, as well as exploits such as buffer and input-field overflows. Hands-on lab exercises reinforce the course material in a real world environment.

Why Do We Teach This?

As Web technology mushrooms, vulnerabilities multiply and hackers are continuously looking to take advantage of them. In the Internet Age, the way into a company’s network is often right through its web site's home page. Attackers no longer need back doors or sophisticated tools to compromise a system. Security professionals need to learn how to secure and monitor their Web-enabled enterprise by identifying vulnerabilities that can be exploited both internally and externally.
