Certified Web Application Penetration Tester eXtreme (eWPTX)


Request for price


Length: 5 day (40 hours)

 

The eWPTX course is a 100% practical, advanced deep dive into the most sophisticated web vulnerabilities. It goes far beyond standard OWASP Top 10 lists to focus on Web Application Firewall (WAF) evasion, complex asynchronous attacks, and API-specific exploitation.

In 2026, the exam is a grueling, multi-day simulation where you act as a senior consultant. You are expected to not only find deep-seated vulnerabilities but also provide a professional-grade report that addresses business risk and technical remediation

This is an Advanced (eXtreme) level course. Candidates should possess:

  • Professional Proficiency: Prior experience as a web penetration tester.
  • Core Foundations: Deep understanding of HTML, HTTP, XML, and JavaScript.
  • Security Mastery: Practical proficiency in XSS, CSRF, and SQLi (ideally at the eWPT level).
  • Programming Skills: Ability to read and understand PHP and JavaScript to deconstruct application logic and bypass filters.
  • Recommended Certification: Holding the eWPT (v2 or v3) is highly advised as the baseline.

Senior Penetration Testers: Looking to prove expertise in bypassing modern defensive technologies.

Red Team Operators: Who need advanced web exploitation skills for initial access and lateral movement within web environments.

Bug Bounty Hunters: Seeking to find high-severity vulnerabilities that automated scanners miss.

DevSecOps Engineers: Who need to understand how advanced attacks circumvent standard security controls.

Course objectives

After completing this course, students will be able to:

    • Bypass Modern Defenses: Master WAF detection, fingerprinting, and evasion through advanced encoding and obfuscation.
    • Exploit Advanced XSS: Go beyond the alert box to perform DOM-based XSS, universal XSS (uXSS), and post-exploitation (cookie stealing, beef-integration).
    • Advanced SQL Injection: Perform manual exploitation on MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle, including out-of-band (OOB) techniques.
    • Secure APIs: Conduct deep tests on RESTful and SOAP APIs, focusing on rate-limiting bypass, BOLA, and parameter manipulation.
    • Chain Server-Side Attacks: Execute complex SSRF, XXE, and server-side template injection (SSTI) to gain remote code execution (RCE).
    • Analyze WebSockets & HTML5: Identify vulnerabilities in modern web communication protocols and HTML5-specific features.

Course outlines

    • Domain 1: Encoding, Filtering & WAF Evasion 
      • Data Encoding: Dissecting URL, HTML, Base64, and Unicode encoding for payload delivery.
      • WAF Bypassing: Utilizing fragmentation, obfuscation, and non-alphanumeric JavaScript (JSFuck) to bypass filters.
      • Regular Expression Evasion: Understanding how to break logic in input validation patterns.
    • Domain 2: Advanced XSS & CSRF
      • XSS Post-Exploitation: Keylogging, phishing, and network scanning through a browser.
      • CSRF Challenges: Bypassing anti-CSRF tokens and exploiting weak SameSite cookie configurations.
    • Domain 3: Extreme Injection Attacks
      • Manual SQLi: Blind and time-based techniques without automated tools.
      • LDAP & NoSQL Injection: Targeting non-relational databases and directory services.
      • Command Injection: Chaining commands to achieve shell access on hardened servers.
    • Domain 4: API Penetration Testing
      • Endpoint Discovery: Enumerating hidden and undocumented API routes.
      • Token Abuse: Exploiting weaknesses in JWT, OAuth, and OpenID Connect protocols.
      • Resource Exhaustion: Bypassing rate-limiting to perform DoS or large-scale data scraping.
    • Domain 5: Server-Side Attacks & HTML5 
      • XXE & SSRF: Using XML and server-side requests to scan internal networks or read sensitive files.
      • WebSockets: Intercepting and manipulating real-time bi-directional traffic.
      • CORS & PostMessage: Exploit misconfigurations in cross-origin resource sharing.
