Acerca de este curso

Bug Bounty Hunting Masterclass: Web Security & Ethical Hacking Discover how web application security works and develop practical skills for identifying, understanding, and responsibly reporting vulnerabilities. In this comprehensive bug bounty hunting course, you'll explore the foundations of ethical hacking and web application security through structured lessons, practical demonstrations, and real-world vulnerability examples. Starting with the fundamentals, you'll learn how bug bounty programs operate, why organizations reward security researchers, and how to approach vulnerability research responsibly. You'll then explore information gathering, digital footprinting, security testing environments, and essential tools such as Burp Suite, DVWA, and bWAPP. As your knowledge develops, you'll examine common web application security vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), insecure direct object references (IDOR), authentication weaknesses, security misconfigurations, file upload vulnerabilities, cross-site request forgery (CSRF), insecure CORS configurations, file inclusion, and server-side request forgery (SSRF). The course also introduces vulnerability assessment tools, testing methodologies, and the importance of documenting security findings accurately. What you'll learn: • Understand bug bounty programs and ethical hacking fundamentals • Explore the bug bounty research process and responsible disclosure • Perform basic information gathering and digital footprint analysis • Understand domain registration information and public reconnaissance sources • Set up and navigate authorized security testing environments • Become familiar with Burp Suite and web application testing tools • Recognize common web application vulnerabilities • Understand SQL injection and cross-site scripting concepts • Identify common authentication and authorization weaknesses • Explore file upload, file inclusion, and server-side security risks • Understand client-side security vulnerabilities • Recognize insecure configurations and access control issues • Learn the fundamentals of automated vulnerability assessment • Document findings and prepare clear vulnerability reports Learn through practical examples. The course combines conceptual explanations with demonstrations in security training environments, helping you understand how vulnerabilities arise and how security professionals investigate them. Whether you're beginning your cybersecurity journey, exploring ethical hacking, or interested in participating in legitimate bug bounty programs, this course provides a structured introduction to web application security research. Develop your skills, think like a security researcher, and learn to make the web safer. All practical security testing should be performed only in environments you own or have explicit authorization to assess. Bug bounty rewards depend on program rules, valid findings, and acceptance by the organization; earnings are not guaranteed.
