What you'll learn:
- Identify and exploit common API vulnerabilities (OWASP API Top 10: A1–A10)
- Perform authenticated and unauthenticated API testing (incl. JWT, OAuth attacks)
- Read and write API documentation using OpenAPI/Swagger
- Securely design, implement, and deploy RESTful and SOAP services
- Use API firewalls and rate-limiting to block attacks
- Build your own exercise-based lab environment and challenge friends
- Pass the CAPIE certification exam with confidence
usly crafted to guide you through the complexities of API security, with practical demonstrations, hands-on labs, and expert-level resources to elevate your knowledge and skillset.
In this course, we’ll begin with the very basics of APIs, covering topics such as the fundamentals of what APIs are and how they function within modern web and mobile applications. We’ll dive deeper into the key differences between REST and SOAP, two of the most common API architectures used today. Understanding how to properly interact with APIs is essential, so we’ll teach you effective techniques to communicate with them securely and efficiently.
You’ll also gain a thorough understanding of the OWASP API Top 10 vulnerabilities for 2019 and 2023, enabling you to recognize common security flaws that exist within APIs. We’ll cover critical topics like API documentation, which is key in understanding and exploiting security weaknesses, and API firewalls, which are essential in protecting against malicious activities.
As part of your learning experience, this course offers signature labs that will allow you to practice what you've learned in realistic scenarios. These labs are designed to reinforce the theoretical knowledge covered in the course and give you real-world insights into API hacking.
CAPIE is more than just a course – it’s your gateway to becoming a skilled API penetration tester. With this certification, you will have the knowledge, hands-on practice, and confidence to work with and secure APIs in any real-world environment. Don't miss the opportunity to gain a certification that is tailored to today's industry demands!
