API Pentest Lab: Risks of Automated Threats & Misconfigurations in Endpoints

RUclips Video Heading
"Exploiting API Vulnerabilities: Lack of Protection from Automated Threats & Security Misconfiguration"
Video Details (Description Section)
Learn How to Identify and Exploit Common API Vulnerabilities!
In this video, we demonstrate:
API4:2021 - Lack of Resources & Rate Limiting
How APIs without proper rate limiting are vulnerable to automated brute-force attacks.
Example: Exploiting an OTP endpoint with tools like Wfuzz to bypass security.
API7:2021 - Security Misconfiguration
How improper error handling exposes sensitive server information.
Example: Triggering a 500 Internal Server Error to gather clues about server logic.
🔧 What You’ll Learn:
✅ How to identify these vulnerabilities in APIs using Postman and Burp Suite.
✅ Practical steps to secure APIs against automated threats and misconfigurations.
✅ Tips for ethical hacking and penetration testing.
Stay Ahead in API Security:
Implement fixes like rate limiting, CAPTCHAs, and proper error handling to protect your APIs from real-world attacks.
