A Day in the Life of a Hacker: Find and Close Vulnerabilities in One Hour

What happens when a cybersecurity specialist is given the task of breaking into a web application?

Over one hour you will watch a real cybersecurity expert at work — from finding hidden pages to obtaining admin access. This is not a lecture but a live penetration test: the screen, Burp Suite, real vulnerabilities and an explanation of every step.

In the session you will see:

• How a penetration tester finds vulnerabilities in a web application, in real time
• Which tools they use (Burp Suite in action)
• How much this work pays (spoiler: $80k–$200k a year)
• Whether you can learn it from scratch (spoiler #2: yes)

In 60 minutes you will see the full cycle of a penetration tester’s work:

• Reconnaissance — how to gather information about the target
• Analysis — how to find weak points
• Exploitation — how to use vulnerabilities
• Documentation — what goes into the report for the client
