Web Application Pentesting 2 0

A Web Application Penetration Test is an in-depth vulnerability assessment and penetration test on an unauthenticated user, authenticated user or both. Vordr Cyber Security certified engineers will test for all of the OWASP Top-10 critical security flaws, as well as a variety of other potential vulnerabilities based on security best practice and what is observed during our manual testing. The following vulnerabilities represent some of the top OWASP security risks to web applications.

• SQL Injection — Hackers alter the SQL statements used in an application's backend. These SQL injection attacks trick it into executing commands that provide unauthorized access to data.
• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) — Applications that execute scripts in the browser receive and run untrustworthy requests. Hackers use those malicious scripts to perform actions like defacing websites, hijacking cookie sessions, or redirecting unsuspecting users to websites where they can steal their information.
• Broken Authentication and Poor Session Management — Websites typically invalidate cookies for a session once a user closes a browser or logs out of a website. If that invalidation doesn't happen, and the session remains open, hackers can hijack those still-valid cookies and get hold of the sensitive information it contains.
• Security Misconfiguration — Developers who fail to define the security configuration for a web app properly and related components leave it vulnerable for hackers to gain access to targeted areas that include URLs and input fields.
• Insecure Deserialization — When data under the control of a user becomes deserialized by a website, attackers can manipulate it by passing harmful information into the source code.
• XML External Entities Injection (XXE) — Attackers interfere with how a web application processes XML data. Attackers can then view files on the server and access back-end systems on which the web application relies.
• Broken Access Controls — Users may end up with restricted resources or perform functions outside of their designated roles. That leaves an organization vulnerable to an attack from the inside.
• With so many organizations falling victim to these web app attacks, companies need to go the extra mile to ensure the proper security controls are in place for their software development life cycle and ongoing web app maintenance. Many businesses think that vulnerability scans are sufficient to maintain or improve their security posture. While vulnerability scans can highlight known weaknesses, web application penetration testing shows you how well they would hold up in a real-world attack by unauthorized users.
• The ideal time to conduct web application penetration testing would be before a production release. However, schedule pressures often lead to developers deploying applications without putting them through the proper security testing. That can leave security vulnerabilities in these web applications.

Some of the questions this test will answer include:

• Can an attacker gain access to my website?
• Can one user see the information of another user?
• Can a lower privileged role gain access to more permissions?
• Can a customer tamper with the site’s parameters, perhaps to purchase an item for free?

Our web application penetration testing includes:

• Network-level penetration testing of host server
• Website mapping techniques such as spidering
• Directory enumeration
• Identifying logic flaws and authorization bypasses
• Automated and manual tests for injection flaws on all input fields
• Directory traversal testing
• Malicious file upload and remote code execution
• Password attacks and testing for vulnerabilities in the authentication mechanisms
• Session attacks, including hijacking, fixation, and spoofing attempts
• Other tests depending on specific site content and languages

At the end of each web app penetration test, we make sure that you receive a full risk analysis, along with guidance on repairing found vulnerabilities to improve your security posture and prevent further exploitation by hackers. Our pen testers will deliver an analysis of the current state of the assessed web application security controls in the form of a comprehensive report and free remediation testing within 90 days of testing.
