Course Overview
Whenever you are developing an application or just writing code, you have to do extensive testing, not only for the straight forward test cases, but also for the cases that may lead to vulnerabilities in your system. If there is one way to make the application work, you have to think of the infinity - 1 ways that will make the application stop. In this course, we will have a deep overview about the hacking theories and practical techniques in order to be able to accomplish several hacking attempts. Since this course will be delivered online, we will be using online hacking tools that work on any desktop regardless of the setup and regardless of the operating system.
