Course Description: 

Modern IT systems are complex and it’s all about full-stack nowadays. To become a pentesting expert, you need to dive into full-stack exploitation and gain a lot of practical skills. That’s why I created the Full-Stack Pentesting Laboratory.

For each attack, vulnerability and technique presented in this training there is a lab exercise to help you master full-stack pentesting step by step. What’s more, when the training is over, you can take the complete lab environment home to hack again at your own pace.

I found security bugs in many companies including Google, Yahoo, Mozilla, Twitter and in this training I’ll share my experience with you. The content of this training has been carefully selected to cover the topics most frequently requested by professional penetration testers.

Note: This training was sold out at DEF CON 2024 and received very positive feedback from students. That’s why we're bringing it back to Las Vegas for DEF CON 2025.
