Testing API Authorization
By Techworth Labs
Exploit broken object-level and function-level authorization in a running API, fix the checks, and add the automated tests that keep the fixes honest.
Free to browse. Takes about 60 minutes once you start.
What to Expect
- Environment: describe the machine and what is installed on it.
- Access: how the learner connects, and that credentials are per-session.
- Progress: work is not saved once the lab ends.
What are hands-on labs?
A lab is a real environment, not a simulation. You get a live machine with the tooling already installed, a task taken from production work, and root access to take it apart. Nothing is mocked, nothing is multiple choice. It either works or it doesn't.
Real tooling
The same commands you would run at work, on a machine that is already set up for them. No screenshots, no sandboxed toy version.
Break it freely
Everything is disposable. When the clock runs out the environment is destroyed with everything in it, so there is no reason to be careful.
Useful on Monday
Built by engineers who run these systems in production. Skills you can apply to your own stack the same week, not exam preparation.
