We are regularly reviewing and updating our programmes to ensure you have the best learning experience. We are taking what we have learnt during the pandemic and enhancing our teaching methods with new and innovative ways of learning. True to its name, this test focuses on all web applications. While web applications may have some overlap with network services, a web application test is much more detailed, intense, and time consuming. It is common for 3 rd party API keys to be seen embedded in code used by an application or pulled from an application in an application response. Recently we succeeded in finding an API key that was hardcoded into an exposed component within an application architecture. This, alongside the fact that the API was also improperly protected, meant anyone with the key, could gain administrator-level access to a 3 rd party service, and lead to the exposure of extremely sensitive and personal information. Technical details of exploits and distributed malicious systems, together with associated discovery and analysis approaches. You'll have the opportunity to gain practical experience in our industry-standard networking labs. Depending on the Covid-19 related restrictions in place at the time, the teaching may take place either online with remote/virtual access to specialised hardware equipment and industry standard software or on campus following the required restrictions.

You may not know precisely what an API (Application Programming Interface) is, and much like many terms used in everyday jargon in the tech world, such as OS (operating system), Cloud, AI (Artificial Intelligence), or algorithm – they can all be defined in many ways, in different contexts and be generally confusing to the layperson. However, what most people do not realise is that they use APIs every day, and without realising. International students who require a Student route(formerly tier 4) visa to progress on a course at Middlesex University must apply for study on a full-time basis. However, this course is offered part-time so you are eligible to apply on a part-time basis.APIs are, as a core definition, a software development tool which allows complexity to be abstracted, to make life easier when giving a system functionality (which otherwise could be laborious to create from scratch). Needless to say, APIs are immensely popular with 90% of developers using them in some capacity. APIs take the headache out of writing complex code, by allowing developers to simply write directives that can be understood in a few keywords strung together with a logical syntax. APIs in Web and Mobile app development Given that the scoping exercise with our client is such a crucial step in the process and ensures an effective and efficient API test, we aim to understand the context by looking at the following key areas:

Once the basics of an API’s requests are understood, the next layer of abstraction to get right is knowing the type and format of data that needs to be issued in the requests. Accurate information is vital for the requests to be processed successfully by the API. contributes to the scoping and conduct of vulnerability assessments and tests for public domain vulnerabilities and assessment of the potential for exploitation, where appropriate by conducting exploits; reports potential issues and mitigation options With the Chaperone® Permanent UV Property Marking Pen you can increase the chances of your property being returned to you in the event of recovery after theft. By writing details such as your postcode and your initials on your valuable items and then keeping a record of those items marked, police will be able to identify the property using a UV lamp and return it to you promptly. At the end of the penetration test, the tester should provide you with a list of the vulnerabilities discovered, along with guidance on how to remediate them in a report. The report should be followed by a ‘wash-up call’, where you can discuss the findings, vulnerabilities, and recommendations in more detail. Your timetable will be built around on campus sessions using our professional facilities, with online sessions for some activities where we know being virtual will add value. We’ll use technology to enhance all of your learning and give you access to online resources to use in your own time.

Penetration testing and web application firewalls

A wireless test looks for vulnerabilities in wireless networks. A wireless pen test identifies and exploits insecure wireless network configurations and weak authentication. Vulnerable protocols and weak configurations may allow users to gain access to a wired network from outside the building.
