Essentials of Web testing: Fast Track
RCCE students will learn web application penetration testing methodologies including reconnaissance, authentication testing, session management testing, injection testing, and business logic testing. RCCE students will learn to plan and execute web application security assessments following OWASP testing methodology, identify web application attack surfaces through reconnaissance and mapping, test for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, exploit web application vulnerabilities to demonstrate business impact, test business logic flows for manipulation opportunities, use web testing tools including Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and custom scripts, and produce professional web application security assessment reports. This essentials course covers the core knowledge needed to operate competently in this domain. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn the fundamental concepts, terminology, risks, and defenses that form the foundation for all further study and professional practice. Students build a solid knowledge base that prepares them for more advanced courses and real-world security responsibilities.
