Chapter 4. Web Application Exploitation

One of the easiest ways for an outsider to get into your network is by attacking your web presence. There are three classes of attack that are the most common for all webservers and application servers: cross-site scripting, buffer overflows, and SQL injection. As a penetration tester, you have to find and exploit the vulnerabilities presented, if possible. We will introduce three different tools for this purpose in this chapter: Armitage, OWASP ZAP, and Burp Suite. Armitage is the GUI frontend for the Metasploit Framework, OWASP ZAP is the Non-Profit OWASP organization's web-based webapplication testing tool, and Burp Suite is a complete webapp exploiter from Portswigger.

  • Surveying the webscape
  • Arm yourself with Armitage
  • Zinging Windows servers with OWASP ZAP
  • Search and destroy with Burp Suite
