Overview of this book

Web penetration testing is a growing, fast-moving, and absolutely critical field in information security. This book executes modern web application attacks and utilises cutting-edge hacking techniques with an enhanced knowledge of web application security. We will cover web hacking techniques so you can explore the attack vectors during penetration tests. The book encompasses the latest technologies such as OAuth 2.0, Web API testing methodologies and XML vectors used by hackers. Some lesser discussed attack vectors such as RPO (relative path overwrite), DOM clobbering, PHP Object Injection and etc. has been covered in this book. We'll explain various old school techniques in depth such as XSS, CSRF, SQL Injection through the ever-dependable SQLMap and reconnaissance. Websites nowadays provide APIs to allow integration with third party applications, thereby exposing a lot of attack surface, we cover testing of these APIs using real-life examples. This pragmatic guide will be a great benefit and will help you prepare fully secure applications.

Chapter 7. Metasploit and Web

Metasploit is perhaps the most versatile, freely-available, penetration testing framework ever to be made. It is currently developed by Rapid7, Inc. This framework was started by a security professional named H. D. Moore in 2003, and since then this framework has gone through excessive research and development. Metasploit Framework is often abbreviated as MSF in written or verbal forms.

The framework comes with different modules which are key parts of it. They aid in customizing and writing different sorts of exploits—software, web applications, and so on. A major part of the framework has been covered in the book Mastering Metasploit by Nipun Jaswal, Packt Publishing. For this book, we'll only go through the topics needed for web application security.

We are going to cover the following topics:

  • Metasploit modules
  • Msfconsole
  • Auxiliary modules related to web applications
  • WMAP – Metasploit's Web Application Security Scanner
