Web Application Penetration Testing
From HTTP fundamentals to business-logic exploitation. The complete path.
Web application penetration testing is the most-requested skill on every Indian VAPT engagement we run. From SQL injection to JWT confusion attacks to business-logic flaws — this track walks you through each vulnerability class as both an attacker and a defender. You will use Burp Suite the way professionals do, recognise OWASP Top 10 patterns in real apps, and learn the mindset that turns a checklist tester into a practitioner who finds the bugs the scanners miss.
- Conduct a manual web application pentest from reconnaissance to reporting
- Exploit and remediate every OWASP Top 10 (2021/2025) vulnerability class
- Use Burp Suite Professional with custom extensions and intruder workflows
- Identify business-logic flaws that automated scanners cannot detect
- Write findings reports your auditor and engineering team can both action
Module sequence
Common questions about this track
What tool stack do you teach? +
Burp Suite (Community is fine for most of the track; Pro for chained exploitation), browser dev tools, sqlmap, ffuf for content discovery, and a custom collection of payload patterns. Methodology is tool-agnostic.
Do I need to set up a vulnerable lab? +
We point you to free vulnerable labs (DVWA, Juice Shop, PortSwigger Academy) and provide methodology that works against any target. Production-class skills come from production-class methodology, not "try harder" labs.
Is this enough to pass OSCP? +
It is the web component. OSCP also expects network and AD exploitation; pair this track with the Active Directory track and the hacking-tools track for full OSCP-equivalent prep.
Can I use this professionally in India? +
Yes. Indian VAPT work is dominated by web application testing. Practitioners who finish this track are immediately employable; experienced engineers gain a structural framework for findings they have been intuiting.
