TOP REVIEWS FROM WEB APPLICATION SECURITY TESTING WITH BURP SUITE
This course is helpful to understand basics of burp suite. i helps me to how to configure the proxy, how to scan and penetrate the website. I like to learn more about burp suite.
I found in few places there more explaination given than needed and in few places we need to browse seperately to understand what actually happened.And the rest was good.
Good explantion from the instructor but it was too short and the lab didnt have preinstalled burp application .But it went on good overall in understanding. Thank You..
It was a really good experience to know a new thing on website testing. But I would suggest you inform participants to install some tools by themselves in rhyme.
