Web Application Penetration Testing
Web Application Penetration Testing (Pentesting) is a security assessment process designed to identify vulnerabilities in web applications before attackers exploit them. It involves simulating real-world attacks to assess security flaws and recommend fixes, ensuring robust protection against cyber threats.
📌 What’s Included in Web Application Pentesting?
✅ Reconnaissance & Information Gathering – Collecting details about the target web application
✅ Automated & Manual Scanning – Identifying common vulnerabilities using security tools
✅ Authentication Testing – Evaluating login mechanisms, session management, and access controls
✅ Authorization Testing – Checking for privilege escalation and broken access control issues
✅ SQL Injection Testing – Finding vulnerabilities in database queries to prevent SQLi attacks
✅ Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Testing – Identifying injection flaws that compromise users’ browsers
✅ Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Testing – Checking for unauthorized requests on behalf of users
✅ Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Testing – Detecting internal network exploitation risks
✅ Business Logic Testing – Assessing security flaws in the application’s logic and workflows
✅ File Upload Security Testing – Detecting flaws in unrestricted file upload mechanisms
✅ Session Management & Cookie Security – Ensuring proper handling of user sessions
✅ Final Security Report & Remediation Guidance – Detailed findings with step-by-step fixes
