Certified API Red Team Analyst (API-RTA) Certificate is earned by mastering API Pentesting fundamentals, tooling and workflows, reconnaissance & discovery, and a broad set of injection attacks, authentication & authorization exploitation, advanced vectors, and chained attacks demonstrated through hands‑on demos and practical web exercises, and by successfully passing the API-RTA examination.
Capabilities
The holder of an Active API-RTA Certificate possesses the capability to :
- Plan and execute end-to-end API penetration tests from reconnaissance through exploitation.
- Operate key pentesting tools and automation (Burp Suite, scanners, fuzzers) to discover and validate vulnerabilities.
- Map and enumerate an API’s attack surface using techniques such as OSINT and active fingerprinting.
- Identify and exploit core vulnerability classes (injections, authentication/authorization flaws, SSRF, business logic flaws, file inclusion).
- Bypass common protections to reach critical assets.
- Chain vulnerabilities to demonstrate realistic attack paths that lead to data exposure or remote code execution.
- Assess authentication and session controls (OAuth, JWT, cookies) and exploit weaknesses to escalate access.
Next Steps
This course is best suited for positions such as Web Penetration Tester, AppSec Engineer, Red Team Operator, and Security Consultant. Additionally, learners can advance with the following certifications:
- Web Red Team Analyst (WEB-RTA): Beginner-level course focusing on attacking web applications.
- Kubernetes Red Team Analyst (K8s-RTA): Beginner-level course focusing on attacking Kubernetes clusters.
- DevOps Red Team Analyst (DO-RTA): Intermediate-level course focusing on cyber offensive operations across CI/CD platforms.
