Security Labs
Hands-on cybersecurity vulnerability labs designed for learning and testing. Each lab demonstrates real-world security flaws in a safe, controlled environment.
🎓 How to Learn from These Labs
Before You Start:
- • Read the vulnerability description to understand what you're testing
- • Try normal inputs first to see expected behavior
- • Use provided examples to understand attack patterns
- • Experiment with variations to deepen understanding
Professional Applications:
- • Security Testing: Learn to identify these flaws in real applications
- • Code Review: Understand what insecure code patterns look like
- • Defense: Know how to implement proper security controls
- • Risk Assessment: Understand business impact of these vulnerabilities
SQL Injection
Learn how database queries can be manipulated through user input to bypass authentication and extract sensitive data.
Prompt Injection
Explore how AI language models can be manipulated to bypass safety restrictions and extract system prompts.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Understand how malicious scripts can be injected into web applications to steal user data and hijack sessions.
Broken Authentication
Discover how flawed authentication mechanisms can be exploited to gain unauthorized access and escalate privileges.
Insecure Direct Object References
