03 · PRACTICAL

Perform the activity

  1. Follow an animated login request from browser to database and back.
  2. Identify which component handles UI, business logic and stored data.
Workshop safety: Activities involving scanning, web vulnerabilities or security testing must be performed only on the assigned training target or intentionally vulnerable lab.
04 · CODE / COMMANDS

Read and understand the working example

Browser -> Web Server -> Application -> Database -> Response

This example is shown for guided learning. Real host/network execution is reserved for the isolated cyber-range stage.

05 · CHALLENGE

Prove your understanding

Draw the path of a login request and mark where authentication, validation and database access happen.
