🎓 API Penetration Testing (ApiSec University)
This course enhanced my pentesting workflow for APIs.
The hands-on labs on authentication bypass, injection, and rate limiting provided real attack/defense experience.
Cheatsheets and case studies reinforced OWASP API Top 10 understanding, making it a great starting point for API penetration testing professionals.
