The WAPT & Bug Bounty Internship Program is now open.

Many of you have asked for a real path from learning web security to finding real bugs. This is it.

Starts 23 November. Registration closes 29 November.

It’s a 24-week internship in two phases:

Phase 1: Training (weeks 1 to 10)

A fixed path through the core web security labs, with a lab target, a quiz, and a write-up every week.

Phase 2: Hunting (weeks 11 to 24)

All video courses unlock at once: how to approach a target, Mastering P4 Vulnerabilities, and Broken Access Control. You hunt at your own pace on VDPs or paid programs, with weekly live Q&A, chat support, and report review.

What you get

A completion certificate

Real bug bounty experience for your CV

Placement assistance for the top performer

Our support guarantee: if you hunt on VDPs, complete the requirements, and have no valid bug by month 6, you get free support until you do. This is support, not a guaranteed result, and it applies only to interns who chose VDPs.

Who it’s for

Students, freshers, and career switchers with basic web knowledge. No screening.

Price: £59. Seats are limited.

After years of pen testing and bug bounty hunting, if someone asked me "what should I learn to find first?" — here's my list, in order:

1. IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference)

Change a number in a URL, access someone else's data. It's embarrassingly simple and still everywhere. Most beginner-friendly bug class by far.

2. Reflected XSS

Inject a script tag into a search parameter. Not always high severity, but it teaches you how user input flows through an application — which is the foundation of everything else.

3. Broken Access Control

Can a regular user hit admin endpoints? Can you access features you shouldn't? Most apps mess this up. Test every role boundary.

4. SQL Injection (classic)

Yes, it still exists. Especially in older apps, internal tools, and anything with custom search/filter functionality. Learn to spot the error messages.

5. Authentication Bypass

Password reset flows, session handling, token leakage. There's almost always something wrong with how apps handle auth. Learn to think like someone trying to get in without credentials.

The pattern: start with logic bugs (IDOR, access control) before injection bugs (XSS, SQLi). Logic bugs require less tooling and more critical thinking — which is what actually makes a good hacker.
