hacker101 VS WebGoat

Secondly, https://www.hacker101.com is also a good resource. If you link your hacker1 account to hacker101 they will give you invites to private programs the further you progress in the learning modules. At least, they used to do that a couple years go.

Also check hacker101

Try hacker101 too, you will need broad resources initially then as you get better you will find depth https://www.hacker101.com/

HackTheBox Academy, TryHackMe, and Hacker101 are all good places to start. I haven't used TryHackMe or Hacker101 personally, but I've heard good things about both.

WebGoat and Juice Shop are two "deliberately insecure" applications containing hundreds of security vulnerabilities for you to find and exploit, including SQL injections. Both projects provide extensive educational material to guide you.

Click Save and then Run. If your codebase doesn’t have an OWASP critical bug, the pipeline should execute successfully. To enforce a fail on this OWASP scan, use a codebase with known vulnerabilities like WebGoat and you’ll see the OWASP scanner in action.

There's also a bunch of intentionally vulnerable Webapps and VMs aimed at demonstrating potential footholds and common exploits leading to owning of the host including but not limited to: bWAPP, Damn Vulnerable Web App, WebGoat, Metasploitable 3, Mutillidae, Juice Shop

Bro, i recommend you to create your own labs using vmware or virtualbox. There are so many VM images out there that was created for educational purposes. For example https://www.vulnhub.com/ has multiple VM images. You can test your skill by downloading and importing to your Virtual platform. Also, take consider to solve all problems in WebGoat and DVWA images.

I highly recommend studying for more than just the cert. Get comfortable with cybersecurity itself. My biggest recommendation would be WebGoat. This also works great alongside studying for the sec+. https://owasp.org/www-project-webgoat/ Completely free and intentionally built to be insecure and help you learn and apply security concepts and use security tools. Also try https://tryhackme.com/ -> Both free.

I'm using latest version which you can find at https://github.com/WebGoat/WebGoat/releases/tag/v2023.4
