Complete Web Pentesting & Cyber Security Roadmap

Foundations — Networking, Linux & How the Internet Works

Before you touch a single exploit, you need to think like a machine. This phase builds your unbreakable technical foundation so every attack you learn later actually makes sense — not just copy-paste hacking.

Web Architecture, Burp Suite & Attack Surface Mapping

You will learn exactly how modern web applications are built, how browsers talk to servers, and how to intercept every single request in real time — the skill that unlocks everything else in web pentesting.

OWASP Top 10 — Core Web Vulnerability Exploitation

This is the heart of the roadmap. You will deeply understand, manually detect, and exploit every critical web vulnerability — not from a scanner, but with your own hands, understanding exactly why each attack works.

API Security, Business Logic Flaws & Advanced Recon

Modern applications run on APIs. This phase teaches you the attack vectors automated scanners completely miss — business logic flaws, mass assignment, API versioning abuse, and advanced recon workflows used by real bounty hunters.

Advanced Exploitation — High-Impact & Client-Side Attacks

This phase covers the vulnerability classes that award the highest bounties and earn the most recognition. These are technically complex, often chained attacks that separate intermediate hunters from elite security researchers.

Bug Bounty, Professional VAPT & Cyber Security Career Launch

Now you convert all your technical knowledge into real money, real certificates, and real job offers. This phase covers the business side of security — how to write reports, how to pitch clients, and how to build a reputation that opens doors.
