Challenges
Complete Walkthrough Instruction & Challenge Based Environment
Unlike many Capture-the-Flag challenges and Vulnerable Virtual Machines, Web Application Hacking and Security provides the challenger with the ability to follow an instructor as they make their way through the challenges. The instructor will present alternatives, do scans, upload malicious payloads, and crack passwords from their home computer just like you. – But don’t rely on the walkthrough; challenge yourself and see how far you can get. Play some of the walkthroughs, then pause and try some more. In the process, you will learn about application vulnerabilities and web application hacking. Even though this will prove useful for other CTF contests, and in cracking VVMs, it will be even more useful to your career as you learn to defend your applications and progress to Web Application Hacking and Security.
You will encounter security misconfigurations, SQL injection vulnerabilities, directory browsing vulnerabilities, enumeration vulnerabilities, and opportunities to escalate privileges and gain access to privileged information.
Each section of ‘Break the Code’ brings progressively more difficult challenges. There are always multiple paths to take, but few will get you the prize and move up the leader board.
