Setup Lab Environment and test for XSS Vulnerability
Cross Site Scripting Fundamentals
How different types of Cross Site Scripting Works?
Perform Different Cross Site Scripting Attacks - Phishing, Cookie Stealing & Session Hijacking
Use Automated Scanners like Wapiti, Uniscan, OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite Pro, to find and exploit XSS and to generate a detailed report
Difference between Passive and Active Scan
Apply Security Measures
Prevent or Restrict XSS using different Defensive Solutions - Esccaping User Input, Content Security Policy, Using Appropriate Sources and Sinks, etc.
Difference between BlackListing and WhiteListing Approach
Use Filter Evasion Cheat Sheets to bypass WAFs and Firewalls, and Prevention Cheat Sheets to implement secure coding practices,and learn proper handling of untrusted data
Use different libraries and modules to add an extra security layer in web applications

The course is specifically designed to understand Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability with a complete Practical Hands-On Experience. This course will train the students to setup their own local penetration testing environment to practice in a safe and contained environment. The students will learn what Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability really is, and how different types of XSS works? Then they will follow an Attacking Approach to deeply understand how XSS attacks happen in real life. They will learn to use different vulnerability scanners to find XSS vulnerabilities. They will also learn to prevent and restrict XSS attacks by using methods like - Escaping User Input, Content Security Policy, etc, thus following a Defensive Approach, hence then name of the course: “Cross Site Scripting: Attack & Defense”, and last but not the least, they will learn to use different cheat sheets to evade WAFs and Firewalls, and also to prevent XSS attacks by implementing secure coding practices and proper handling of untrusted data.
