White Paper: Web Application Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Analysis

Abstract:

The success of a web application penetration testing project is directly proportional to the quality of its execution cycle. Executing a penetration testing project is very different from executing a functional testing project given the fundamentally different goals and challenges of penetration testing and vulnerability analysis. It is therefore surprising that very little published work deals with the unique challenges of the practical aspects of penetration testing projects.

Our experience with penetration testing for a number of web applications has helped us abstract out a set of Best Practices for penetration test execution for web applications, which we present.
