Web Application Security Testing: Testing for Common Attacks
The ability to thoroughly assess and test a web application for common misconfigurations and vulnerabilities will mark you out as a good web application penetration tester. Common attacks and vulnerabilities usually get overlooked by web application penetration testers, and as a result, these vulnerabilities are missed during assessments or pentests. It is imperative to factor common vulnerabilities into a penetration test to ensure that a client or organization has a strong foundation to build on.
This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to identify and exploit common misconfigurations and vulnerabilities in web applications. This course will delve deep into the intricacies of HTTP method tampering, attacking basic HTTP authentication, HTTP digest authentication, session hijacking, and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) to provide you with the knowledge and skills required to operate effectively as a web app pentester and improve your ability to perform thorough and comprehensive web application security testing.
