About this class

What you'll learn

The methodology the rest of the curriculum assumes. You will set up an intercepting proxy, learn to read and replay HTTP, systematically enumerate an application's attack surface, and write findings up so a developer can fix them.

Prerequisites

Comfort with a browser's developer tools and basic HTTP — methods, status codes, headers, cookies.

Where to practise

Every technique here is exercised in the practice labs and applied in the topic classes that follow.
