File Path Traversal Mastery: Hands-on from Zero to Hero!

Welcome to the Path Traversal Mastery Class – From Zero to Hero!

This class combines both theory and practical hands-on lab experience to find and exploit Path Traversal vulnerabilities in modern applications (web apps, APIs and mobile).

Important note: This course is NOT teaching the actual usage of Burp Suite and its features. This course is proving a step-by-step walkthrough through the practitioner labs with detailed explanations on how to find and exploit web app vulnerabilities.

Your instructor is Martin Voelk. He is a Cyber Security veteran with 27 years of experience. Martin holds some of the highest certification incl.
