Overview
The EC-Council Centre of Advanced Security Training has arrived at Firebrand Training. This three-day Advanced Application Security course is intensive, and focuses on combating attacks by improving your code-writing.
You will learn how to attack applications on the web, off-the-shelf binary applications and runtimes such as .NET, Java and Adobe AIR. This all takes place on a Virtual Machine, which you keep after the course.
Warning: This is not a beginner’s course. You'll spend 50% of the course in hands-on coding labs, so you must have some programming experience. The course is right for you if you're an: application developer, software programmer or pen tester.
Learn how to use these tools and techniques:
- SSL compelled certificate injection
- SSL renegotiation
- CRL libraries
- SQL root kits
- XSS
- 'Fuzzing' (most programmers aren't aware of this, but your code should be fuzzed!)
Note: this course doesn't include an exam, but you'll become Advanced Application Security certified.
9x Accredited Training Centre of the Year
Firebrand Training has again won the EC-Council Accredited Training Centre of the Year Award, from a Training Partner network that has more than 700 training centres across 107 countries. This extends a record-breaking run of successive awards to nine years.
Jay Bavisi, President of EC-Council said: “The annual EC-Council Awards highlights the commitment and achievements of our global partners and trainers that have contributed to the information security community.”

"Great 4 days of in-person training. The trainer was knowledgeable and brought a wealth of real world examples to what would have been otherwise a very theoretical training course."
Ian Smith, DWP. (8/1/2024 (Monday) to 11/1/2024 (Thursday))
