Web Application Hacking and Security (WAHS)
Course Overview
Web Application Hacking and Security has challenges derived from the iLab environments of EC Council – from Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) to the Certified Penetration Testing Professional (C|PENT); from Certified Application Security Engineer (C|ASE) .Net to Java. But Web Application Hacking and Security goes beyond this to more difficult scenarios as you advance through each problem.
Web Application Hacking and Security is like Capture-The-Flag (CTF) competitions meant to test your hacking skills. But you can keep on trying until you achieve the goal. Test your skills and work alone to solve complex problems or follow the instructor as he does walkthroughs to help you learn Web Application Hacking and Security.
Most of the work we do on a day-to-day basis uses cloud-based apps that are vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
There are currently 43,986 exploits (and growing) in the Google Hacking Database1 and the total number of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) is at a record high with over 18,000 published in 2020 alone!
Break The C☄de
Step into the world of Break the Code, where every challenge sharpens your skills and tests your mindset as an ethical hacker. Along the way, you’ll face real-world vulnerabilities—security misconfigurations, SQL injection flaws, directory browsing gaps, enumeration weaknesses, and privilege escalation scenarios that guard valuable information.
Each stage grows tougher, pushing you to think creatively and exploit vulnerabilities just like a pro. There are always multiple routes to explore, but only the sharpest decisions will unlock the prize and propel you up the leaderboard.

Exam Information
A fully online, remotely proctored practical exam that challenges candidates through a grueling 6-hour performance-based, hands-on exam. The exam assesses candidates’ skills and proficiencies on a broad spectrum of OWASP Top-10 web application vulnerabilities and attack vectors. The assessment is not limited to only the understanding of automated exploitation frameworks but requires a deep understating of various web application technologies, their inherent and acquired vulnerabilities, and manual exploitation techniques.
