SOC Analyst tier 1 & 2 & 3, Web pentester, Web Application Developers (Front-end & Back-end), Software Engineers, Computer Science & IT Students
No prior experience in web security or penetration testing is required., Basic understanding of how the web works (e.g., web browsers, HTTP requests/responses, and client-server architecture)., Familiarity with web technologies like HTML and JavaScript is helpful.
Welcome to “Top 10 Web Application Attacks From OWASP 2025 Edition”, a comprehensive course designed to provide you with the knowledge and hands-on experience to attack and defend against the most critical vulnerabilities in web applications.
This course covers the OWASP Top 10 attacks in depth, starting with Broken Access Control, exploring how attackers exploit vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive areas of a web application. We’ll also examine Cryptographic Failures, where you’ll learn the importance of secure encryption methods and how improper implementation can lead to data breaches.
The course dives into Injection Attacks, focusing on SQL Injection, XSS (Cross-Site Scripting), and other injection-based vulnerabilities. You’ll gain practical experience in exploiting and preventing these attacks through interactive labs. Insecure Design is another key topic, where you’ll uncover design flaws that leave applications vulnerable to exploitation.
Further, we explore Security Misconfiguration, Vulnerable and Outdated Components, and Identification and Authentication Failures, covering everything from improper password management to outdated software dependencies. Software and Data Integrity Failures and Security Logging and Monitoring Failures are also covered to ensure you understand how to detect, prevent, and respond to attacks effectively.
Lastly, Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is discussed, showing how attackers can bypass security controls to target internal services. You will also learn about Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions, a critical concept where improper error handling or unexpected system behavior can leak sensitive information or break application logic.
The course also highlights how OWASP’s focus has evolved from 2021 to 2025, helping you stay ahead of emerging threats.
By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of web application vulnerabilities and the skills needed to secure modern web applications, making you a valuable asset in the field of cybersecurity.
MH Cybersecurity Academy
I’m a SOC Analyst (Tier 1) with 1.5 years of hands-on experience in alert triage, event and log analysis, and integrating various systems into the QRadar SIEM solution, including generating custom rules to detect different types of attacks. I perform incident response in alignment with NIST guidelines and have implemented security appliances such as Snort (IDS) and FortiGate (Next-Generation Firewall). I use tools like Nessus and OpenVAS for vulnerability assessments and leverage frameworks such as the Cyber Kill Chain, Pyramid of Pain, and MITRE ATT&CK to classify and understand threats. I also have experience with Cisco switches and routers, and I’m familiar with implementing networks using the hierarchical design model. My background includes working with Windows Server technologies such as Active Directory, Group Policy, DHCP, DNS, and more. Additionally, I completed training at Telecom Egypt (WE), where I gained practical knowledge in MSAN and GPON cabinets, FTTH, and ISP infrastructure. Currently, I work as a cybersecurity instructor on Udemy, where I teach over 3,000 students worldwide.
Along the way, I completed courses and earned certifications like CCNA, MCSA, NSE4, Linux Admin (1), CEH, eCIR, and QRadar. I’m excited to keep growing and help organizations stay safe. Feel free to connect with me at mahmoudhassanelsaied08@gmail.com.
