CYBER SECURITY IN MODERN WORLD

      Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting computers, networks, data, and digital systems from cyber threats such 
      hacking, malware, phishing, and data breaches. 
      In today's interconnected world, cybersecurity is essential for safeguarding personal information, business operations,   
      financial transactions, and critical infrastructure. 
      As technology advances, cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated, making strong security measures increasingly 
      important.

      Transition to Quantum Security

     With the development of quantum computing, traditional encryption methods may become vulnerable because powerful 
     quantum computers could potentially break current cryptographic algorithms much faster than classical computers.
     Quantum security, also known as post-quantum cryptography, focuses on developing new encryption techniques that can
     resist attacks from both classical and quantum computers.
     This emerging field aims to ensure long-term data protection and secure communication in the future quantum era.

  • Lab: Exploiting XXE to retrieve data by repurposing a local DTD

    This lab has a “Check stock” feature that parses XML input but does not display the result. To solve the lab, trigger an error message containing the contents of the /etc/passwd file. You’ll need to reference an existing DTD file on the server and redefine an entity from it. https://portswigger.net Visit a product page, click “Check…

  • Lab: Clobbering DOM attributes to bypass HTML filters

    This lab uses the HTML Janitor library, which is vulnerable to DOM clobbering. To solve this lab, construct a vector that bypasses the filter and uses DOM clobbering to inject a vector that calls the print() function. You may need to use the exploit server to enable your vector to auto-execute in the victim’s browser. https://portswigger.net…

  • API testing

    APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) enable software systems and applications to communicate and share data. All dynamic websites are composed of APIs, so classic web vulnerabilities like SQL injection could be classed as API testing. In this topic, we’ll teach you how to test APIs that aren’t fully used by the website front-end, with a focus…

  • Lab: Reflected XSS with AngularJS sandbox escape and CSP

    This lab uses CSP and AngularJS. To solve the lab, perform a cross-site scripting attack that bypasses CSP, escapes the AngularJS sandbox, and alerts document.cookie. https://portswigger.net The exploit uses the ng-focus event in AngularJS to create a focus event that bypasses CSP. It also uses $event, which is an AngularJS variable that references the event object.…
