Web Penetration Testing
A penetration test, also known as a pen test, is a simulated cyberattack against your computer system to check for exploitable vulnerabilities. In the context of web application security, penetration testing is commonly used to augment a web application firewall (WAF).
Pen testing can involve the attempted breaching of any number of application systems, (e.g., application protocol interfaces (APIs), frontend/backend servers) to uncover vulnerabilities, such as unsanitized inputs that are susceptible to code injection attacks.
What Is the End Result of a Penetration Test?
The end result of a penetration test is the pen test report. A report informs IT and network system managers about the flaws and exploits the test discovered. A report should also include steps to fix the issues and improve system defenses.
Every pen test report should include:
- An executive summary: The summary offers a high-level overview of the test. Non-technical readers can use the summary to gain insight into the security concerns revealed by the pen test.
- Tools, methods, and vectors: This section covers the tools and methods behind the test. Testers also outline step-by-step attack patterns that led to a successful breach.
- Detailed findings: This section lists all security risks, vulnerabilities, threats, and concerns discovered by the penetration test. Unlike the executive summary, this part of the report goes in-depth into technical details.
- Recommendations: The recommendations section explains how to improve security and protect the system from real cyberattacks.
