no intro, explanation or anything -- just straight into the lab which doesn't even match the one on the burpsuite site.
By Sudeep on 5/10/2025
No explanation in detail. He just tells what he did without explaining the reason or logic behind that. HIGHLY NOT RECOMMENDED FOR A BEGINNER.
By Jarrod Rein on 1/31/2025
Hello Martin! Thanks to you! I have passed the BSCP EXAM! Thank you for your time and expertise!
By Clementina Toun on 1/27/2025
It was an amazing experience. A journey that I hope will fill me with accomplishments. Well done Sir!
By Anthony Lozeau on 11/13/2024
Seeing it work exactly like it did in the video was quite nice. This isn't a criticism but something that helps me personally as a learner is a bit more explanation of why it works. Would help in finding these types of vulnerabilities in a real world situation like if I am able to get a cyber security job, in terms of what to look for etc..
By Mauro Ma on 5/3/2024
Martin is my hero ! Finally a training over the OSCP syllabus, finally a course beyond the surface of the topics a genuine intermediate-advanced training.Martin shows how to craft and adapt not common payloads. Sincerely I hope that Martin will share in the next months more of his truly outsanding skills in a new training !!!!!

In this course you are provided with a step-by-step instruction through the Burp suite practitioner labs with detailed explanations on how to find and exploit web site vulnerabilities. It is exactly what I was looking for.
By Dan T on 3/13/2024
This is a tremendous resource unlike any other today regarding web app pentesting. Here Martin explains the more advanced web app pentesting labs. As with his other Burp courses (Ultimate Web App Bug Bounty Hunting, and Burp Apprentice), he explains his thinking process out loud which is invaluable for someone new to the field. The comprehensiveness of the material and clarity of the explanations of the exercises make this course an outstanding contribution to students.
By Muthuramalingam Manickam on 12/24/2023
Very good explanations about various vulnerabilities as well as tool usage.
By Joseph White on 10/25/2023
This is the best BUG HUNTING course on Udemy - to the point & excellent instruction to prep for the Burp Suite Pro certification - worth every penny - THANKS MARTIN for putting this up for the rest of us to learn from. I will be using this as my main prep for the cert !!! .... I owe you several beers !!!
