Web Application Penetration Testing Course in Hyderabad

What the Course Covers, Module by Module

The Application Security course (HTA-101) starts with the web and finishes with a full assessment. The hours below are the guided hours for each module.

• Web architecture, mapping and test planning (9 hours): HTTP and TLS, cookies, headers, Burp Suite set-up, content discovery and a coverage matrix.
• Authentication, sessions and access control (12 hours): MFA and password-reset flows, JWT, OAuth 2.0, IDOR, and multi-role testing.
• Injection and server-side attacks (12 hours): SQL injection, command injection, cross-site scripting, file upload, XXE and SSRF.
• Business logic and advanced web attacks (9 hours): race conditions, request smuggling, cache poisoning, WebSockets and GraphQL.
• Android and thick-client testing (25 hours): the same method applied to mobile apps and desktop clients.
• Secure code review and DevSecOps (11 hours): threat modeling, Semgrep and ZAP, and the security of AI features behind web endpoints.
• Capstone assessment (12 hours): an unseen web application and its API, a formal retest and an oral exam on your findings.

Attacks You Will Test for Yourself

• Broken access control: horizontal and vertical privilege problems, IDOR and function-level gaps
• Weak sessions and tokens, and badly implemented login, reset and MFA flows
• SQL injection (including careful use of SQLmap) and NoSQL injection
• Stored, reflected and DOM-based cross-site scripting, and what Content Security Policy does and does not stop
• Server-side request forgery, including requests to cloud metadata services
• Business logic flaws that no scanner reports, such as skipped steps and abused limits

How a Real Web Test Is Run

A professional test is a process, not a list of payloads. You agree the scope and rules of engagement, build a coverage matrix of every endpoint and role, test each cell, and keep evidence for every claim. At the end you separate real findings from scanner noise, fix a representative flaw, and run a retest to show it is closed. The capstone repeats this on an application you have not seen before.

Tools and Standards

You use Burp Suite throughout, with ffuf for content discovery, SQLmap, OWASP ZAP and Semgrep. Findings are mapped to the OWASP Top 10:2025, the OWASP API Security Top 10:2023, the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and ASVS, the references clients and auditors expect to see.

Who This Course Suits

Graduates aiming at a penetration testing or application security role, developers who want to understand how their code is attacked, and IT professionals moving into security. You do not need to be a developer. A counselor can check your background and suggest where to start. Read the syllabus for the full topic list.

Fees and What Comes Next

The course costs ₹20,000 + GST on its own. Taken with the advanced Network and Active Directory course as the Offensive Security Track, both cost ₹30,000 + GST. Join in the Ameerpet classroom or live online, and try 3 to 5 classes free before you pay. Testing a system without written permission can be a criminal offense in India, so all practice happens in isolated labs.

The First Three Days

The first module is 9 hours, about three class days. You set up Burp Suite with a proxy, scope and site map, find hidden content with ffuf, and read client-side JavaScript for endpoints the page never links. You then list every endpoint and every user role in a coverage matrix, which is the plan for the rest of the test.

Scanners Help, but They Do Not Replace Testing

You use Semgrep for code, OWASP ZAP and Burp's scanner for running applications, and dependency and secrets scanning for the supply chain. Scanners are noisy and miss logic flaws. A large part of the capstone is explaining which scanner results are false positives and proving the real ones by hand.

How a Finding Is Written Up

Each finding states what is wrong, how to reproduce it, the evidence, the business impact and the fix. In the capstone you fix a representative flaw yourself and run a formal retest to show it is closed, which is how a client knows the work is finished. The OWASP ASVS is the standard many clients use to define "secure enough".
