One of the many ways to test an application for vulnerabilities is to take a running instance and attack it just like an outsider attacker would. This process is known as Dynamic Application Security Testing () and will be the focus of the current room.

Room Objectives

  • Learn how DAST can be applied to find weaknesses in real-world applications.
  • Understand the pros and cons of using DAST instead of other techniques.
  • Familiarise yourself with some of the tools used for DAST.

Room Prerequisites
