This course is intended for people interested in information security—particularly in the penetration testing of various websites—to identify the security flaws present in the majority of newly developed websites and how to fix them. 

You will learn web penetration testing techniques using the Kali Linux operating system. You will be introduced to Python programming, web server technology, network management, open source intelligence, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, authentication and authorization in systems, cross-site request forgery, social engineering attacks, and concepts in information security management. 

Your knowledge of the various web application vulnerabilities and attack methods will be enhanced after taking this course. You will get hands-on experience with many tools used in online penetration testing in cyber security.
