In this video I explain the exact daily checklist, monthly milestones, and hands-on labs you should follow to become a web application penetration tester. This roadmap is the definitive web application penetration testing course and tutorial, ideal as a web application penetration testing full course, web app pentest roadmap, or practical web application penetration testing project plan.

What you’ll learn (high-level)
Daily checklist and 12-month roadmap to follow.
Web application penetration testing basics and methodology.
Browser security and web concepts: CORS, CSP, cookies, SameSite, headers.
Classic vulnerabilities: XSS (reflected, stored, DOM), SQLi (time-based, error-based, blind).
Automation vs manual validation: scanners, Burp Suite workflows, and manual exploitation.
Practical labs and platforms: PortSwigger Academy, TryHackMe rooms, Hack The Box web labs.
Toolstack: Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Kali Linux, browser devtools, and auxiliary tooling.
Reporting and output: how to document findings, build a professional pentest report, and track progress in Notion.
