Advanced Penetration Testing

Web Penetration Testing & Bug Hunting (1 Month Intensive Program)

This course is designed to help you master real-world web security and bug hunting skills in just 1 month. Whether you are a beginner or someone with basic knowledge, this program will take you step-by-step into the world of ethical hacking, vulnerability assessment, and bug bounty hunting.

You will learn how websites work, how hackers find vulnerabilities, and how to exploit them in a legal and ethical way. The course focuses heavily on practical training, where you will perform real attacks in a safe lab environment using industry tools like Burp Suite, Nmap, SQLmap, and more.

From information gathering and scanning to advanced vulnerabilities like SQL Injection, XSS, IDOR, SSRF, and authentication bypass, you will gain hands-on experience in identifying and exploiting security flaws.

Additionally, you will learn the complete bug hunting methodology, including how to choose targets, find valid bugs, avoid duplicates, and write professional vulnerability reports that can help you earn from bug bounty platforms.
