Testing to make sure your website is safe

“

- [Malcolm] The web is an essential service providing easy access to information anywhere, anytime. Businesses communicate with their customers through the web, governments communicate with citizens through the web, and we all use the web for e-commerce services, such as online banking and shopping. Web services are accessible remotely, and this puts them at high risk of cyber attack. I'm Malcolm Shore and I've spent a career helping governments and businesses protect their systems against cyber attacks. In this LinkedIn Learning course, I'll start by explaining web protocols and the basics of web design. And I'll look at the OWASP top 10 web vulnerabilities. I'll demonstrate some of the popular tools available to do web testing, including Burp Suite, ZAP and WebScarab. And I'll show you how to use these to scan websites and run as web proxies. I'll also look at some websites, where you can practice your web testing. When you finish this course, you'll have a great understanding of how to test for website weaknesses. Now, let's get started learning about hacking web servers and web applications.
