Learning outcomes
What you'll be able to do afterwards
- Describe the common attack paths against web applications, identities and endpoints, and explain why each one works
- Read and interpret logs to distinguish routine noise from something worth escalating
- Apply core controls — authentication, least privilege, patching, network segmentation — and explain the trade-offs of each
- Use a recognised framework to structure an assessment rather than testing at random
- Write a finding that a non-technical decision-maker can act on
Prerequisites
- Comfortable using a command line
- Basic understanding of how web applications and networks fit together
Curriculum
6 modules
Every module and the topics it covers.
Module 01
How attacks actually work
- The attacker's sequence: reconnaissance to impact
- Credential attacks and why they remain the most common entry point
- Phishing and social engineering as a technical problem, not a training problem
- Where real breaches typically start, and why the exotic cases dominate the headlines
Module 02
Identity and access
- Authentication factors and their realistic failure modes
- Least privilege in practice, and why permission sprawl happens
- Session handling, tokens and common implementation mistakes
Module 03
Networks and endpoints
- Segmentation and trust boundaries
- TLS: what it protects and what it does not
- Endpoint hardening and patch management as an operational discipline
Module 04
Application security basics
- The OWASP Top 10 as a working checklist
- Injection, broken access control and misconfiguration, demonstrated hands-on
- Secure defaults and input validation
Module 05
Detection and response
- What to log, and what makes a log useful during an incident
- Triage: separating noise from signal
- Escalation paths and the first hour of an incident
Module 06
Communicating findings
- Ranking findings by exploitability and business impact
- Writing for a technical team and for a decision-maker
- Reporting exercise with feedback
