Description
This course is designed to take you from the basics of SQL injection to advanced exploitation techniques, including practical scenarios and labs. Here, you will learn about the fundamentals of SQL queries, how attackers use them to obtain unauthorized access and how to test and protect applications against these threats. Whether you are a beginner or have intermediate knowledge of cybersecurity, this course will help you improve your skills in an organized and practical way. This course focuses on ethical hacking, which means you will learn different ways for protecting systems, verifying programs and securing sensitive data rather than causing harm.
