E-Learning: Web Application Hacking and Security (EC-WAHS)

Web Application Hacking and Security has challenges derived from the engaging iLab environments of EC Council – from Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) to the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (CPENT); from Certified Application Security Engineer (CASE) .Net to Java. But Web Application Hacking and Security goes beyond this to more difficult scenarios as you advance through each problem.

Web Application Hacking and Security is like a Capture-The-Flag (CTF) competitions meant to test your hacking skills. But you can keep on trying until you achieve the goal. Test your skills and work alone to solve complex problems or follow the instructor as they do a walkthroughs to help you learn Web Application Hacking and Security.

Watch your name rise on the leader board, a place where you’ll see who’s cracking the most challenges, who’s making the most progress, who’s cranking out the h@ck$!

Challenges

You will encounter security misconfigurations, SQL injection vulnerabilities, directory browsing vulnerabilities, enumeration vulnerabilities, and opportunities to escalate privileges and gain access to privileged information.

Each section of ‘Break the Code’ brings progressively more difficult challenges. There are always multiple paths to take, but few will get you the prize and move up the leader board.

Target Audiance:

If you are tasked with implementing, managing, or protecting web applications, then this course is for you. If you are a cyber or tech professional who is interested in learning or recommending mitigation methods to a myriad of web security issues and want a pure hands-on program, then this is the course you have been waiting for.

Exam Process

The Web Application Hacking and Security exam dashboard will be available for 30 days from your Aspen account. Launch your Exam Dashboard when you are ready to take on the exam.

You will need to schedule the exam sessions and clear the exam from the Exam Dashboard within the validity period of 30 days.

You will need a host machine with a virtual machine running your penetration testing toolkit to take the exam. Please read the Host System Requirement and Virtual Machine Resource Requirement sections below carefully.

Certification

The exam focuses on candidates’ proficiency in performing a web application security assessment in real life stressful scenario. Candidates who score more than 60% will earn the Certified Web Application Security Associate certification, candidates who score more than 75% will be awarded the Certified Web Application Security Professional certification and candidates who score more than 90% attain the prestigious Certified Web Application Security Expert certification!

How You Will Learn:

Complete Walkthrough Instruction & Challenge Based Environment

Unlike many Capture-the-Flag challenges and Vulnerable Virtual Machines, Web Application Hacking and Security provides the challenger with the ability to follow an instructor as they make their way through the challenges. The instructor will present alternatives, do scans, upload malicious payloads, and crack passwords from their home computer just like you.

– But don’t rely on the walkthrough; challenge yourself and see how far you can get. Play some of the walkthroughs, then pause and try some more.

In the process, you will learn about application vulnerabilities and web application hacking. Even though this will prove useful for other CTF contests, and in cracking VVMs, it will be even more useful to your career as you learn to defend your applications and progress to Web Application Hacking and Security.
