I’m proud to have completed the API Penetration Testing for CEH certification — a focused and hands-on training designed to strengthen my skills in securing modern web applications through ethical hacking techniques.
In today’s API-driven world, this course provided essential insights into how attackers exploit APIs and how to proactively defend against these threats. It was a highly informative and technical experience that deepened my expertise in cybersecurity and vulnerability assessment.
🔐 Key Concepts Covered:
- API architecture and common vulnerabilities (e.g., Broken Authentication, Excessive Data Exposure)
- Hands-on exploitation of REST APIs using tools like Burp Suite, Postman, and OWASP ZAP
- Mapping API attacks using OWASP API Top 10
- Secure API coding best practices and remediation strategies
This certification was not just about learning to test APIs — it was about thinking like an ethical hacker and gaining the skills to prevent real-world attacks.
