Summary
In this chapter, we explored the process of API penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, from reconnaissance and footprinting to scanning and enumeration, brute-force testing, exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting. We discussed various tools and techniques for identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in APIs, as well as how to effectively communicate them to your client.
In the next chapter, we’ll explore advanced API testing approaches, exploring different tools and frameworks to further understand API testing.
