Cross-site scripting (XSS) is one of the most commonly exploited vulnerabilities in web applications. As a web application pentester or bug bounty hunter, it is vitally important to understand what causes XSS vulnerabilities, how they can be identified, and how they can be exploited.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities are often misunderstood and overlooked by developers primarily due to a lack of knowledge on how Javascript can be weaponized by attackers.

This course will introduce you to Cross-site scripting, explain the difference between Stored, Reflected, and DOM-Based XSS, and will show you how to identify and exploit XSS vulnerabilities in web applications through a mix of both manual and automated techniques.
