Master Website Hacking with OWASP ZAP | Full Penetration Testing Course

Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The video provides valuable practical knowledge for beginners in web application security, demonstrating real usage of OWASP ZAP. The argumentation is based on step-by-step demonstrations, which are effective for learning. However, the explanations are often shallow, and some technical terms are used incorrectly (e.g., ‘AASPJ’ instead of ‘OWASP ZAP’). The value lies in the hands-on approach, but the lack of theoretical background and best practices limits its depth.
