Course Overview
OWASP Web App Hacking is a hands-on programme designed to help learners test web applications safely and systematically. You will learn how modern web apps fail, how attackers chain weaknesses, and how to validate findings in a controlled, professional manner.
Delivered through mentor-led sessions, the course uses practical scenarios that mirror real web testing engagements: mapping the attack surface, identifying weakness patterns, proving impact safely, and documenting evidence so developers and stakeholders can fix issues quickly.
Over three days, you will build a repeatable web testing workflow, strengthen your understanding of modern attack patterns, and produce a mini report pack demonstrating clear, remediation-focused findings. Aligned with recognised best practices including ISO, GDPR, NIST and SOC 2, ensuring skills remain practical and deployable in real organisations. All prices are exclusive of VAT (where applicable). Group enrolments and custom packages available.
