About The Web Security Syllabus Project

Sep 07, 2020

Online resources to learn about hacking and web security can be very complicated to navigate. When I am studying a new topic, I often spend hours and hours weeding out irrelevant, inaccurate, duplicate, and outdated information.

I also noticed that it is easy to learn about the basics of a topic, but hard to learn in depth. That's why I'm starting a monthly syllabus program to help you learn about web security!

The primary objective of this project is to save you time and broaden your horizons about security topics. In this project, I will suggest infosec topics that you should learn about. I will also curate the best resources for learning about the topics you suggested.

For each topic, I will layout the resources that you can use to learn all about that topic. I will walk you through:

  1. The steps you should follow to master the topic.

  2. New techniques and technologies that are relevant.

  3. Labs you can practice on.

  4. Cheatsheets and wordlists are gold standards.

According to your feedback, I will introduce these in the following months:

  1. A guide to solving infosec challenges and CTFs challenges.

  2. Different types of injections.

  3. The most prevalent vulnerabilities in web applications and mobile applications.

  4. Becoming proficient in building security automation tools.

  5. Secure development best practices.

  6. And more! Feel free to suggest topics I should cover.
