🎯 What You'll Learn
- Perform efficient source-code review
- Find subtle, chained vulnerabilities
- Build authentication bypasses
- Escalate web bugs to RCE
About This Workbook
This advanced track moves from black-box testing to source-driven exploitation. You learn to read application code, find non-obvious vulnerabilities, and chain them into high-impact results such as authentication bypass and remote code execution.
Chapter 1 — Source-Driven Testing
Letting the code guide the attack.
- Reading unfamiliar code
- Tracing tainted input
- Spotting dangerous sinks
Chapter 2 — Advanced Injection & Deserialization
High-impact server-side flaws.
- Advanced/second-order injection
- Insecure deserialization
- Template injection
Chapter 3 — Auth Bypass to RCE
Chaining bugs into full compromise.
- Logic and auth bypass
- Chaining primitives
- Reliable PoCs
Chapter 4 — Reporting Complex Chains
Explaining multi-step exploits clearly.
- Step-by-step reproduction
- Impact
- Remediation
Keep going. Work through each chapter in order, then apply what you learned in the matching labs.
