AWAE-Preparation

This repository will contain all trainings and tutorials I have done/read to prepare for OSWE.

Course Syllabus:

Before AWAE:

I would not recommend taking the course before at least; finishing all SQL and XSS Injection challenges in bWAPP https://sourceforge.net/projects/bwapp/files/bee-box/ and being able to understand and debug different languages like C#, Php, Java, and Javascript.

Before The Exam:

The Web Application Hacker's Handbook is your friend. The negative part of AWAE course is that they did not include enough methodologies for vulnerability discovery, thus, I strongly recommend reading Chapter 21 from The Web Application Hacker's Handbook , and be comfortable debugging C#, Java, Php, and Javascript, using Burp Suite, dnSpy, JD-GUI, Visual Studio, and writing custom PoC in at least one language :).
