Authentication and Authorization Testing

Welcome to Chapter 4! We are as excited as you that you have gotten to this chapter. In this chapter, we will cover numerous topics surrounding authentication and authorization testing to learn more about the varying ways to attack these mechanisms. Authentication is the process of verifying the validity of the identity of who’s attempting to access a system or application. Authorization also helps us verify that a requested action or service is approved for a specific entity.

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

Testing for Bypassing Authentication
Testing for Credentials Transported over an Encrypted Channel
Testing for Default Credentials
Testing Directory Traversal File Include
Testing for Privilege Escalation and Bypassing Authorization Schema
Testing for Insecure Direct Object References
