Vulnerability Analysis: Common Vulnerabilities and Exploits
This course will teach you how to analyze common vulnerabilities and exploits, leveraging databases like OWASP Top 10 and CVE to understand attack vectors, security risks, and the evolving threat landscape.
What you'll learn
Modern applications and systems are constantly targeted by attackers exploiting known vulnerabilities. In this course, Vulnerability Analysis: Common Vulnerabilities and Exploits, you’ll learn how to assess vulnerabilities, interpret CVE details, and understand exploit development basics. First, you’ll explore the OWASP Top 10, gaining insights into the most critical security risks in web applications. Next, you’ll examine how vulnerabilities are documented in CVE databases and how attackers chain them together for greater impact. Finally, you’ll gain a foundational understanding of exploit development, including how vulnerabilities are categorized and the role of vulnerability databases like NVD and Exploit-DB. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of common vulnerabilities, their potential exploitation, and how to assess security risks effectively.
