Penetration testing of web applications can identify security vulnerabilities in databases, source code, and backend networks of web-based applications. It can not only identify vulnerabilities but also help prioritize them and provide solutions to mitigate them.
Web application penetration testing is used to find vulnerabilities in web-based applications. It uses a three-step process:
- Reconnaissance—discovering information about web servers, operating systems, services, resources, and more used by the web application
- Discovery—finding vulnerabilities in the web applications and planning attack vectors to be used in the penetration test.
- Attack—exploiting a vulnerability to gain unauthorized access to the application or its data.
