The Burp challenge

Summary: PortSwigger launched the Burp challenge, a four-stage program in which participants complete practitioner-level labs, eight specific labs, five mystery labs, and a practice exam by 31 December 2022 to earn a free exam credit for the Burp Suite Certified Practitioner certification. Weekly mini challenges, starting 11 November 2022, entered completers into prize draws for Burp Suite swag, with five winners named each week.
What's compelling: The program ties a free certification exam credit to completing all four stages by 31 December 2022, so the deadline is the stake for anyone using it to build or validate web vulnerability skills.
