Course Abstract:
This course is the culmination of years of experience gained via practical penetration testing of Modern Web and Desktop applications as well as countless hours spent doing research. We have structured this course around the OWASP Security Testing Guide, it covers the OWASP Top Ten and specific attack vectors against Modern Web and Desktop apps. This course provides participants with actionable skills that can be applied immediately from day 1. Please note our courses are 100% hands-on, we do not lecture students with boring bullet points and theories, instead we give you practical challenges and help you solve them, teaching you how to troubleshoot common issues and get the most out of this training. Training then continues after the course through our frequently updated training portal, for which you keep lifetime access, as well as unlimited email support. Each day starts with a brief introduction to the Modern platform (i.e. Node.js, Electron) for that day and then continues with a look at static analysis, moves on to dynamic checks finishing off with a nice CTF session to test the skills gained.

Day 1: Focused specifically on Hacking Modern Web Apps: We start with understanding Modern Web Apps and then deep dive into static and dynamic analysis of the applications at hand. This day is packed with hands-on exercises and CTF-style challenges.
Day 2: Dedicated to Advanced Modern Web App Attacks: We cover advanced attacks specifically targeting Modern Web Apps, such as dumping memory, prototype pollution, deserialization attacks, OAuth, JWT flaws and more. The day is full of hands-on exercises and ends with CTF-style open challenges for additional practice.
Day 3: Focused on Hacking JavaScript Desktop Apps: We start with understanding JavaScript Desktop apps and various security considerations. We then focus on static and dynamic analysis of the applications at hand. The day is filled with hands-on exercises ending with a CTF for more practical fun.

Who should attend?
Any Web or Desktop App developer, penetration tester or person interested in Modern
Web and Desktop apps, Node.js, Electron or JavaScript security will benefit from
attending this training regardless of the initial skill level:
This course is for beginners, intermediate and advanced level students. While beginners
are introduced to the nuances of Modern Web and Desktop App security from scratch,
intermediate and advanced level learners get to perfect both their knowledge and skills
on the subject. Extra mile challenges are available in every module to help more
advanced students polish their skills.
The course is crafted in a way that regardless of your skill level you will significantly
improve your Modern App security auditing skills:
If you are new and cannot complete the labs during the class, that is OK, as you keep
training portal access, you will learn a lot in the class but can continue from home with
the training portal.
If you are more advanced you can try to complete the labs in full and then take the CTF
challenges we have for each day, you will likely also attempt to complete some exercises
from home later :)
