Course Description

For the longest time, up until a few years ago, SQL Injection fell under the number one most critical security risk facing web applications today. Although the vulnerability itself is simple to learn and exploit, it can potentially lead to disastrous consequences that leave an organization open to severe risks such as sensitive information disclosure, authentication bypass and even remote code execution.

In this course, we dive into the technical details behind SQL Injection vulnerabilities, the different types of SQL injection vulnerabilities, how to find them from both a black-box and a white-box perspective and cover the different ways to exploit SQL injection vulnerabilities. We also go through prevention and mitigation techniques on how to prevent and mitigate these types of vulnerabilities.

This is not your average course that just teaches you the basics of SQL Injection. This course contains over 9 hours worth of content that not only describes the technical details behind SQL Injection vulnerabilities, but also contains 18 labs that give you hands-on experience exploiting real-world examples. The labs are of varying difficulty levels starting with really simple examples and slowly moving up in difficulty.

If you're a penetration tester, application security speciality, bug bounty hunter, software developer, ethical hacker, or just anyone interested in web application security, this course is for you!

I have previously watched Rana's videos in YouTube and I am confident about her knowledge. This is why I can focus more on learning what is being presented in the lectures than worrying about whether or not the material is reliable and credible.

By David Howe on 8/12/2024

This is honestly the best course I've ever watched on Udemy. The methodology shown is fantastic. The materials provided, great. Not only are you learning SQLi, you're also learning practical methods to automate the enumeration process that are quicker than some of the 'go-to' products available on the market. Hats off to the author. If you want to learn more about SQLi, this course is for you.

By Sandesh Poudel on 12/30/2023

I just loved the course content but its created in a traditional way of theoretical practice. It should have been mixed with some practise/labs or something so that the students would train themselves along with that theoretical knowledge.

Easy to understand about SQL Injection Attack. This is the best one course I have ever learned on udemy. I hightly recommended for those who wanna learn practical Web Security. Love from Myanmar.

Another amazing course by Rana Khalil. Kudos, loved every minute of it from the detailed explanations to the scripting automation for my complex cases. Well done Rana! Anyone who wants an easy to learn and well parsed out SQL injection course would be well served with this one!

By Nishanth Easow Shaji on 9/7/2023

This course is really informative.The topics are structured in a way that makes it easy to follow and understand the progression of information. But it's very difficult to see and read the python scripts on the visual studio and while injecting queries to the URL, it should be shown clearly and slowly. Thank you Rana Khalil and David Bombal for offering such a wonderful course.

By Ahmad Umair Khan on 7/25/2023

So far so good. Hv completed 35% of the course n hv created the lab environment as per instructor's instructions n will work on the labs one by one. I would say that this course is great for beginners. Easy and detailed explanation of SQLi, good available resources and no confusions so far. Good luck to Rana.

By Jonathan Brown on 7/24/2023

Other than the occasional hacker-typical English grammatical errors... I found this module extremely encouraging in terms of topical breakdown, simplicity of explanations, volume of content and in many other areas such as resource availability, (lecture slides etc), captions (comes in handy when i don't understand a word or phrase clearly. This approach gives me confidence that the overall course will be enjoyable, thorough and easy to retain. The Udemy founder's remarks explaining "the Udemy Platform" are perhaps disigenuous to the hardworking folks at Youtube, who are the ones who programmed, and who are providing, every single feature that he goes over and refers to as "The Udemy Platform". Thank you... I'll be here all week! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdqvJbh8eeM&pp=ygUkYSBrbmlnaHQncyB0YWxlIGludHJvZHVjdGlvbiBzcGVlY2gg

This course on SQL injection is very well done. Rana is both an amazing teacher and excellent at what she does. I cannot emphasize how much I appreciate the fact that we scripted the exploits (in Python 3). The theory is explained clearly and succinctly. The use of Burp Suite was also great practice.

By Tyler Nethaway on 7/21/2023

I have a decent understanding of the basics of SQLi, but the explanations provided here are much more in depth and show a visual representation which really helps solidify the concepts for me.
