Web App Pentest - Part 3 Fuzzing


When We test the web application, we do not test a single page but we test lot of page of a single web application. So each page may have more than one variable so technically you will be engaging with ton of variables within your web application test. So when you inject anything to the input it is good to know what kind of effect your injection is making to the server. In this part of these article series we will look at the importance of simple alphabetic injection along with the web page encoding technology and how it does effect on our testing and result.

Web App Pentest - Part 2 Indentifying Injection Points

If your web page is static, you cannot test it as far as security concern. You can test it at some sort of view but you can’t play with it much as compare to dynamic page. Nikto scanner is a good utility which works best in testing static sites. There has to be some interaction between client and server via login panel, comment section, register page, contact us form and so on.

Web App Pentest - Part 1 Introduction

In this series of articles, I am going to demonstrate how you can manually exploit the vulnerability of a web application, compared to using any automation tool, in order to find vulnerabilities in the application. Almost all companies worldwide focus on manual testing of web application rather than running web application scanners, which limit your knowledge and skills and the scope of finding a vulnerability with your testing.
For the whole series I am going to use these programs:

Firewall Unleashed

Introduction
Firewalls are used to monitor and control the inbound and outbound traffic on the protected network. They have an ability to block and allow the internal as well as external services within the network. Before allowing access to the service, a firewall may also force the client / user to pass through an authentication. Sometimes a firewall can be also used in IPSEC tunnels as a platform. It monitors security-related events.

Suspicious File Analysis With PEFRAME

In this article I am going to conduct a walk through with a nice python tool named PeFrame. This tool should be an analyst’s first choice in order to analysis a piece of static malware. I am going to discuss each and every feature provided by this tool and I will also show you why it is important to find information through the malware.
