Starting at the very basics of how a web browser communicates with servers on the internet, we will first learn what the major vulnerabilities in web applications are. Covering cross-site scripting, SQL injections, and remote command execution, we will exploit vulnerabilities in an intentionally vulnerable web application. By the end of the class, students should have a good understanding of why vulnerabilities work the way they do in web applications, as well as the tools used to exploit them.
