Course Overview
- Welcome to the ultimate deep dive into one of the most pervasive and dangerous web vulnerabilities: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This isn’t just another lecture series; it’s an immersive ‘survival guide’ designed to arm you with the offensive and defensive strategies needed to conquer XSS. We’ll peel back the layers of client-side attack vectors, scrutinize browser parsing mechanisms, and expose the subtle ways XSS payloads can be injected and executed. Prepare to step into the attacker’s shoes, understanding their thought process, exploit methodologies, and the intricate dance between client-side code and user interaction. This course is for those who aspire to master XSS beyond theoretical knowledge, pushing into practical exploitation and robust mitigation.
