Just completed the 14-week @HackingAPIWDami program. We covered:
# REST API pen testing & OWASP API Top 10: Not just theory, actual hands-on labs exploiting the vulnerabilities that break real production APIs every day.
# Auth attacks: OAuth 2.0, JWT, and API keys.
# DevSecOps: shifting security left into CI/CD pipelines, automated scanning, and compliance for APIs.
I'm really grateful to HAWD for building a program this thorough. API security finally clicked for me here and that's not something I say lightly.

Last week of #HackingAPIsWithDami and the GraphQL sessions .
I decided to put everything I’ve learned into practice on the GraphQL Bookstore by @Dghost_Ninja and documented the full breakdown here:

Learn. Query. Exploit.
#Hackingapiswithdami#GraphQL#APISecurity
Over the weekend our students held their first Project Presentation, breaking down OpenVault Bank by @apisecu API exploits.
Big thanks to Abdulrahman Oyekunle @Nerdy_genii who joined in as our judge and shared impactful feedback that pushed our hackers to think deeper.
If you work in development, DevOps, or security and haven't thought deeply about API security, now is the time. APIs are everywhere, and so are the vulnerabilities hiding inside them.
