The Basics of Cross-Site Scripting

This course is aimed for beginners interested in learning about web application security, with a focus on cross-site scripting (XSS). The course provides an introduction to the fundamentals of cross-site scripting, making it highly accessible even for those with no prior experience in web security topics.

While no prior knowledge of JavaScript is required to follow along, a basic understanding of it can be beneficial as cross-site scripting commonly involves JavaScript. The core aim of the course is to equip participants with a solid foundation in cross-site scripting and to inspire them to explore the topic further on their own.

The course features video lessons that cover the essentials of cross-site scripting, guiding you through how these attacks work and how to recognize and prevent them. Additionally, participants will have access to a safe, hands-on practice environment where they can apply what they have learned without any risk.

By the end of the course, participants will understand the fundamentals of cross-site scripting, and they will have what it needs to begin to expand their knowledge independently.
