Delivered through Securetain Premium as an 18-hour, instructor-led learning path where red-team labs mirror the eWPTX exam requirements and everyday application adversaries.
Updated to lean into the December 2024 eWPTX curriculum so API testing commands roughly 25% of the learning journey.
Path note
Securetain Premium unlocks the path; the evergreen eWPTX exam pairs automatic scoring with the latest curriculum that doubles down on API security and WAF bypass tactics.
Snapshot
Overview
Advanced Web Application Penetration Testing trains testers to choreograph the entire eWPTX attack lifecycle, from recon through filter evasion and into authoritative reporting.
Lessons pair theory with hands-on exploitation for XSS, SQLi, SSRF, API abuse, payload crafting, and WAF bypass so every discovery matches the certification’s scoring rubrics.
Focus
Web attack methodology that spans reconnaissance, authentication abuse, injection discovery, API security, server-side logic, filter evasion, and WAF bypass so modern stacks are covered end to end.
Labs that emphasize API penetration, OAuth/SSO tampering, SSRF/LDAP/deserialization, and WAF/validation bypass—the exact attack families that the refreshed eWPTX blueprint prioritizes.

Certification
Securetain eWPTX (Web Application Penetration Tester eXtreme) – a 100% practical, scenario-heavy certification covering methodology, reconnaissance, authentication/injection, API security (25% of the blueprint), server-side attacks, and filter/WAF bypass.
Curriculum
Advanced Recon & Methodology
Model targets, plan attack surfaces, build custom recon tooling, and frame hunts that inform every red-team engagement.
Authentication & Injection Exploitation
Attack auth flows, craft bespoke payloads, and weaponize injection vectors (SQLi, XPath, OGNL, etc.) while evading modern encodings.
API Security & Modern Clients
Prototype API calls, tamper inputs, replay tokens, abuse OAuth/SSO, and probe JSON/XML services to master the 25% API-heavy blueprint.
Server-Side Logic, Filter Evasion & WAF Bypass
Chain SSRF, LDAP, deserialization, and server-side logic flaws, then practice filter bypass and WAF evasion to keep payloads stealthy.
Reporting & WAF Proof
Map findings to MITRE ATT&CK, craft executive reports, and validate WAF bypass success before attempting the eWPTX practical.
