One of the best resources out there to learn about API hacking has to be OWASP Juice Shop https://owasp.org/www-project-juice-shop/

We ran it as an exercise at work to learn about security vulnerabilities, and it was great fun and highly educational. Really recommend it.

Yeah I can confirm this. We did it in our company too and it was really fun!

How much time did it take? (for one person to do it)

I'm intrigued, could you elaborate on how you ran it? Was it a one-day event, or something people did in their 10% time, or something else?
Sure, we ran it over a couple of months. Generally, people did it in their spare time outside of office hours, or in 10% time. As long as it didn't impact work delivery. Everyone installed it locally using docker, and then we had a centralised server that ran the scoreboard for everyone to share and add their capture the flag tokens. We did a couple of presentations about interesting solutions as well to drum up support.

We did a write-up on our blog if you're interested: https://purplelabs.eagleeye.com/blog/the-hackathon-capture-t...

Thank you!
