Description

Are you ready to take your first step into the world of web application hacking? This course, DVWA for Ethical Hackers: Master Web App Attacks, is your hands-on guide to mastering real-world web vulnerabilities using the Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA).DVWA is a deliberately insecure application that provides a legal and safe environment to practice web security testing. In this course, you’ll learn to exploit a wide range of vulnerabilities found in real-world web apps. From SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) to Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), Command Injection, File Upload flaws, and JavaScript-based vulnerabilities, you’ll understand how these attacks work and how to perform them step-by-step.What sets this course apart is its practical approach. We don’t just show you theory—we walk you through attacks on DVWA across three security levels: Low, Medium, and High, helping you understand how web defenses evolve and how hackers adapt. Each module is structured to demonstrate the vulnerability, exploit it, and then discuss how it can be mitigated.Whether you're an aspiring ethical hacker, a cybersecurity student, or a developer who wants to build more secure applications, this course will give you a strong foundation in offensive web security.By the end of the course, you’ll be confident in using DVWA as a training ground to sharpen your skills, identify vulnerabilities, and understand the mindset of an attacker.Join now and start your journey to becoming a skilled web application hacker—ethically and legally.
