Every October we share cybersecurity awareness posts.
Then October ends and it all disappears.
This year, let's leave something behind. 🧵
Introducing CyberSecTOBER:Cybersecurity Awareness Month × Open Source 👇 github.com/CyberSecTober

One of our students from @HackingAPIWDami just got his first bounty ever!! He used one of the techniques he learnt during the API classes🥳🥳🥳graphql.

CASA Certified from @apisecu 🥳
I want to say a big thank you to the @HackingAPIWDami (HAWD) community, @ce3nerd and @danbarahona for making this opportunity possible.

I got an offer to study at Cambridge.
This girl from a middle class home in Nigeria is good enough for Cambridge.🥹
I might not be resuming because I lack the needed finance.
But I'm choosing to celebrate how far I've come.
Because a moving Dorcas will surely meet her luck.

one of our first cohort alumni @HackingAPIWDami just passed his ASCP!!! I’m super proud!!! From zero API security skills to this!! #hackingapiswithdami

14 weeks. GraphQL. REST APIs. AI. LLM Pentesting.
Officially completed the @HackingAPIWDami program.
Now it’s time to put the skills to work.

Just completed the 14-week @HackingAPIWDami program. We covered:
# REST API pen testing & OWASP API Top 10: Not just theory, actual hands-on labs exploiting the vulnerabilities that break real production APIs every day.
# Auth attacks: OAuth 2.0, JWT, and API keys.
HackingAPIsWithDami retweeted
# DevSecOps: shifting security left into CI/CD pipelines, automated scanning, and compliance for APIs.
I'm really grateful to HAWD for building a program this thorough. API security finally clicked for me here and that's not something I say lightly.

Last week of #HackingAPIsWithDami and the GraphQL sessions .
I decided to put everything I’ve learned into practice on the GraphQL Bookstore by @Dghost_Ninja and documented the full breakdown here:

AI is powerful but without proper security controls, it's a wide open door beckoning attackers.
Huge learning experience for me.

I’m super excited about this, HAWD students are so lucky that we are able to get this man onboard for them!!
We are excited to announce a new trainer at HAWD
Meet Abidakun Samuel @BoLatanX a security researcher at HackerOne & Apple
Leading our GraphQL track from basics to real world exploitation.
Learn. Query. Exploit.

AI amplifies your API's power. It also amplifies the risk. Security has to keep up #API #APISec @HackingAPIWDami

If you work in development, DevOps, or security and haven't thought deeply about API security, now is the time. APIs are everywhere, and so are the vulnerabilities hiding inside them.

Finally, documentation is not a post-launch task. It's not something you hand off to a technical writer at the end of a sprint. It's a core part of your product, and it deserves the same attention, iteration, and care as the API itself.

I’ve been locked in with @HackingAPIWDami since last month.
APIs are like an entirely new language to me but I’m slowly getting the hang of it.
Now, let me quickly explain APIs with a simple analogy.
Imagine this:
You walk into a restaurant. You’re hungry. You don’t barge into the kitchen (obviously). Instead you tell a waiter what you want. The waiter tells the kitchen, the chef cooks it and the waiter brings it back to you.
Now the waiter? That’s your API (Application Programming Interface)
In simpler terms, an API is more like a medium through which apps communicate with each other.
Anticipate a video walkthrough from me soon though.
