In this 2.5-hour hands-on workshop, participants will delve into the art of reverse engineering web applications to uncover hidden security flaws. Through guided exercises, attendees will learn to deconstruct application architectures and infrastructures, gaining insights into vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and ways to make exploitation more reliable. Whether you're hunting for logic flaws, mapping unknown attack surfaces, or trying to make sense of a black-box app, this workshop equips you with practical strategies and mental models you can apply immediately.
The workshop includes guided mini-lessons, worksheets to reinforce key patterns, and a hands-on lab hosted remotely (or locally) where attendees apply their skills in real time. Support will be available throughout, and all materials (labs, notes, and tool recommendations) will be provided for continued practice after the session.
