- Frequently Asked Questions
Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
What topics are covered in this course?
The course covers API fundamentals, endpoint discovery, authentication and authorization flaws, injection attacks (SQL, NoSQL, command), excessive data exposure, SSRF, and chaining vulnerabilities for high-impact exploitation. It provides a complete lifecycle of API security testing and defense.
Do I need coding experience to enroll?
Basic familiarity with HTTP requests and JSON is helpful, but deep coding knowledge is not mandatory. The course includes guided exercises and tools to help participants of varying technical backgrounds understand the concepts and execute attacks effectively.
Will I learn real API exploitation techniques?
Yes. The course is focused on practical, real-world exploitation. You’ll learn how to identify and exploit vulnerable endpoints, break weak authentication, perform SSRF attacks, and chain multiple vulnerabilities for greater impact—just as it’s done in advanced penetration tests.
Can I request a custom digital marketing package?
Absolutely. We tailor our services to fit your business goals, budget, and timeline.
Are labs included with hands-on scenarios?
Absolutely. The course includes custom-built labs simulating real API environments, allowing you to apply your knowledge through structured, scenario-based exercises that reinforce every concept covered.
Can this help with bug bounty and red teaming?
Definitely. This training is ideal for security researchers, bug bounty hunters, and red team professionals who want to expand their API exploitation skills and apply them in real-world engagements or bounty programs.
