Adam Langley (@BuildHackSecure) & With Ben Sadeghipour (NahamSec)
Regex isn’t just for developers. It’s a hacker’s precision tool for finding needles in haystacks, bypassing filters, and spotting vulnerabilities others miss. In this short, hands-on course, Ben and Adam take you from basic pattern matching to real-world hacking applications in under 3 hours. You’ll learn the exact expressions, pitfalls, and tactics that make regex an essential skill for hackers.
What You’ll Get:
Expert-Led Instruction
Ben and Adam break down regex step-by-step: from literals and anchors to quantifiers, wildcards, and groups
Hands-On Challenge Labs
Every major concept comes with a lab, so you’re not just watching, you’re building patterns and solving problems.
Security-Driven Use Cases
See how regex plays a role in OSINT, code review, data parsing, content discovery, and even bypassing web defenses.
What You’ll Learn
- How to match strings, define boundaries, and capture exactly what you need
- How to use character sets, quantifiers, and shortcuts to target data fast
- How to avoid common regex mistakes that break your match or open a security hole
- How regex is applied in hacking scenarios like SSRF, CORS, and WAF evasion
- How to speed up recon and data analysis with pattern matching
Who This Is For
- Bug bounty hunters who want to add regex to their toolkit
- Pentesters and red teamers who need to parse, extract, and bypass efficiently
- Developers and analysts curious about attacker mindset and tooling
This Isn’t Just Syntax
It’s practical, hacker-focused regex you can apply immediately: from parsing a breach dump to identifying an exploitable filter.
