Check out the latest Paged Out! Zine (page 22 under hardware) and you’ll find an article written by me about my little eink labelling project and the highs and lows of learning to CAD, solder and program an ESP32, how hard can it be?
Link is here https://www.justhacking.com/course/api-hacking/ want to try before you buy? I've made 3 modules free so you can get a feel for what you're buying!

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is NOT a "bug bounty" course and won't make you rich.

If you're just looking for a magic methodology to find a bug and get paid tomorrow, do not buy this course. This is about building deep, foundational API hacking skills, not about bug bounty hunting.

Everyone learns differently. The course comes packed with:
✅ In-depth Videos, A LOT of Videos tbh
✅ Written Content & Guides
✅ Quizzes
✅ Demos
✅ Hands-on Exercises
✅ Lab
✅ Q+A and Support From Me

This course is 100% new content, designed for all skill levels. We start with "What is an API?" and go all the way from recon to reporting.

It includes videos, written guides, exercises, and a new, realistic lab environment to practice in. The hands-on lab is free on GitHub!

I've spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to teach API security from the ground up for beginners.

Today, I'm excited to launch the result: My brand new API Hacking course on JHT. It's built to give you a deep, foundational understanding of how to test modern APIs. 🧵
