Mastering Directory Traversal – The Ultimate Hands-On Course
How to Find, Exploit & Defend Against Directory Traversal Vulnerabilities. For Ethical Hackers, Developers & Pentesters.
Created by Experts with David Bombal, Rana Khalil | 1.5 hours on-demand video course
Directory Traversal (or also known as file path traversal) is a vulnerability that allows an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server that is running the application. This includes files that contain credentials, system configuration and application code. In some cases, not only could you read arbitrary files, but you could also write to arbitrary files which usually leads to a full system compromise. Therefore, mastering the ability to identify and exploit directory traversal vulnerabilities has become an essential and foundational skill.
In this Mastering Directory Traversal – The Ultimate Hands-On Course, we dive into the technical details behind directory traversal vulnerabilities, how to find these types of vulnerabilities from a black-box and white-box perspective and the different ways to exploit these types of vulnerabilities. We also cover prevention and mitigation techniques that you can use to prevent directory traversal vulnerabilities.
