Course Description: This course is taught by certified security consultants that routinely perform network, host, and client-side penetration tests and vulnerability assessments.  This course begins with an overview of the web application risk landscape, exploring the threats and vulnerabilities affecting today’s web applications.  It then immerses students in a step-by-step walkthrough of the Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner.  Students are exposed to live Acunetix scans that target vulnerabilities detailed by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) and the Web Application Security Consortium (WASC).  Students will gain an understanding of how to find SQL injection and Cross Site Scripting weaknesses using the Acunetix tool.  Finally, the course discusses additional web application safeguards required to defend a web application infrastructure, including the use of Acunetix as part of a layered defense.  The course closes with a question and answer period. 

Upon Completion: The class will provide students with a working knowledge of the Acunetix tool set as well as an overview of the web application risk landscape.  Students will be able to set up an Acunetix scan, assess the vulnerabilities of a web site, create and publish reports on the findings, and tune the Acunetix tool. The course will provide information that is useful in pursuing professional certification such CEH, CISSP, or CISA, but it is not intended to prepare students for a specific certification. An Acunetix certification is currently not available.
