Professionally Evil Application Penetration Testing

This is a 2-day workshop, Saturday, May 4, and Sunday, May 5. Each day is 9am - 5pm.

Professionally Evil Application Penetration Testing

Taught by Jason Gillam, CIO of Secure Ideas

The Professionally Evil Application Penetration Testing (PEAPT) course is designed to teach the basic procedures and skills necessary to conduct penetration testing on today's applications. This course focuses on the techniques used to assess and exploit applications; including web and mobile applications, APIs, and HTTP-based systems. We combine these techniques with explanations of the risks exposed and defenses required to improve the security of your organizations.

The course uses a large number of hands-on exercises to reinforce the techniques and understanding an attendee will gain so that they benefit on the very first day back to work. The course focuses on manual techniques for discovery and exploitation while teaching an industry-standard methodology of reconnaissance, mapping, discovery, and exploitation. This methodology provides a comprehensive standard for assessing applications and APIs.

Students use the SamuraiWTF project environment to learn and practice penetration testing techniques. This environment provides realistic targets and tools which enables the attendees to understand how the techniques taught are used in the real world. The course finishes with a capture-the-flag (CTF). In this event, attendees assess and exploit a modern organization's application (based on Juice Shop). This capstone exercise is designed to pull together all of the knowledge, techniques, and exploits.
