Overview of this book

Burp suite is a set of graphic tools focused towards penetration testing of web applications. Burp suite is widely used for web penetration testing by many security professionals for performing different web-level security tasks. The book starts by setting up the environment to begin an application penetration test. You will be able to configure the client and apply target whitelisting. You will also learn to setup and configure Android and IOS devices to work with Burp Suite. The book will explain how various features of Burp Suite can be used to detect various vulnerabilities as part of an application penetration test. Once detection is completed and the vulnerability is confirmed, you will be able to exploit a detected vulnerability using Burp Suite. The book will also covers advanced concepts like writing extensions and macros for Burp suite. Finally, you will discover various steps that are taken to identify the target, discover weaknesses in the authentication mechanism, and finally break the authentication implementation to gain access to the administrative console of the application. By the end of this book, you will be able to effectively perform end-to-end penetration testing with Burp Suite.

Summary

In this final chapter, we reviewed other scenarios that can be used to assess an application. In this chapter, we looked for SQL injections and exploited one of them using different methods.

For an application security assessment, I recommend avoiding the manual exploitation methods, because we will have less time to use them. They are useful when it is not possible to find vulnerabilities using other methods.

In this chapter, you learned how to analyze the parameter behavior in a request to infer what could be vulnerable and reduce the time analysis. Later, we looked into detecting Blind SQL injection vulnerabilities using Burp Suite's scanner, SQLMap, and the Intruder tool. Finally, we learned how to guess a tracking number using Intruder to exploit a Blind SQL injection.
