What you'll learn

According to the globally recognized Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), command injection is among the top three critical web application vulnerabilities that allow attackers to gain control over systems where they can attack infrastructure, steal information, and many other malicious actions. In this course, Specialized Testing: Command Injection, you’ll learn to identify, test, and mitigate vectors and techniques threat actors use to perform command injection. First, you’ll explore the mechanics of command injection. Next, you’ll discover how to find and test vulnerable web application entry points for command injection. Finally, you’ll learn how to deploy mitigation strategies. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of testing for command injection needed to audit web applications.
