Skills You'll Gain

The Complete WAHS Skill Set

From OWASP Top 10 exploitation to advanced API hacking and professional pentest reporting — every skill area from the WAHS syllabus.

SQL Injection

Error-based, union-based, blind, time-based, and out-of-band SQLi with sqlmap automation and WAF bypass.

Cross-Site Scripting

Reflected, stored, and DOM-based XSS with filter bypass, BeEF framework, and advanced payload construction.

Authentication Attacks

Credential stuffing, MFA bypass, password reset flaws, JWT attacks (alg:none, RS256→HS256), and session attacks.

CSRF Exploitation

CSRF token bypass, SameSite bypass, JSON CSRF, clickjacking, and CSRF in multi-step application workflows.

Server-Side Attacks

SSRF, XXE, SSTI, path traversal, RFI, LFI, log poisoning, and PHP wrapper exploitation.

API Hacking

REST, GraphQL, and SOAP security testing with OWASP API Top 10, BOLA, rate limiting bypass, and API fuzzing.

Advanced Exploitation

Deserialization, HTTP request smuggling, prototype pollution, web cache poisoning, and CORS misconfiguration.

Web Shells

Web shell deployment, file upload bypass, obfuscation, PHP/ASPX/JSP shells, and post-exploitation pivoting.

Business Logic Flaws

Price manipulation, workflow bypass, race conditions, coupon abuse, negative value attacks, and logic chain analysis.

IDOR & Access Control

Horizontal/vertical privilege escalation, forced browsing, mass assignment, and GraphQL IDOR testing.

Burp Suite Pro

Intruder, Repeater, Sequencer, extensions, macros, active/passive scanning, and custom scan configurations.

Pentest Reporting

CVSS v3.1 scoring, PoC documentation, executive summaries, remediation recommendations, and re-testing.
