Check this in-depth review:"After completing my fourth badge on PentesterLab, I have enjoyed it so much that I thought I would pass on the word on what a great learning resource it is. If I had to summarise it in one sentence, I would say an extremely well written educational site about web application pentesting that caters to all skill levels and makes it easy to learn at an incredibly affordable price"
Testimonials
The exercises and course content provided by PentesterLab has allowed for me to continually excel in bug bounties and penetration testing in my career by ensuring that I am well aware of the techniques, methods and attack vectors that any good pentester should know. As PentesterLab Pro does not require you to set up VMs, more time has been spent on learning and applying rather than simply setting up labs or vulnerable VMs. The return received from subscribing to PentesterLab has been far greater than the little investment that I have put in.
... I just completed the JSON Web Token exercise and learned so much! As matter of fact, I've learned tons already from just doing the first few exercises. I wish I would have found your site sooner. It's by far the best way to learn web app security!
I just completed @Pentesterlab's serialize badge! Great fun, and some really interesting webapp vulns to play with in the labs.

"PentesterLab is an awesome resource to get hands-on, especially for newbies in web penetration testing or pentesting in general. It gives insights to possible web security flaws, their behavior and approaches that can be taken to exploit them. More of, it does help in developing a hacker-like mindset. Kudos & Thanks to PentesterLab!!"
I consider PentesterLab to be a great resource for learning about web application security and ways how it can be subverted. Even though the exercises usually don’t take much time to complete they can teach a lot. I can’t but recommend it, especially to any aspiring junior penetration testers out there.
Pentesterlab is a great way to practice testing skills and learn new attacks. For the time poor, the new online exercises allow you to have an exercise ready at a moment's notice. Many of the more difficult exercises really make you stop and think deeply about the vulnerability and how to approach exploiting it. I've especially been enjoying the new Serialization exercises.
"... it's a fantastic way of learning. I have been a web application security guy but i feel your courses has something more..."
