Pentesting Web Applications [Video]

By: Tajinder Kalsi

Overview of this book

Penetration testing is not only about networks but also web applications. Begin your journey by familiarizing yourself with the well-known tools to perform vulnerability assessment. Take a deep dive into understanding Metasploit Framework and learn how to maintain access on the target machine, when successfully exploited. Documentation is always essential and so is creating an effective report for submission to the customer. You will learn what to include in reports. Finally, you will be all set to perform penetration testing in a real-time scenario, and will try to crack a challenge, summing up everything you have learnt so far and apply it in real-time.

Section 1
Post Exploitation on Windows
Suppose, after exploiting a target successfully we have got a low-privilege session on the Windows machine. And when we try to escalate the privilege using standard methods, it fails. With this video discuss such situations and look for methods to escalate privilege using other vulnerabilities existing in the target machine. - Gain a meterpreter session after exploiting the target - Find other local exploits for the target - Use the exploit to escalate privilege
