Overview

Web application security testing forms a comprehensive process incorporating a multitude of steps essential for assessing the security of web applications. This systematic journey commences with the identification and scoping of the entire application, followed by meticulous test planning.

Typically, web application security testing is carried out post-development. During this phase, the web application is subjected to a battery of rigorous tests, emulating various malicious attacks to gauge its performance and responsiveness. The culmination of this security evaluation is a structured report that reveals identified vulnerabilities, potential threats, and recommendations to fortify the application's security posture.

Some of the processes within the testing process include

Within the testing procedure, various testing methodologies are involved, such as:
  • Brute Force Attack Testing
  • Password Quality Rules
  • Session Management Testing
  • Authentication Mechanism Testing
  • User Authorization Processes
  • SQL Injection
  • Cross Site Scripting
  • Security Misconfigurations

Goals

Your goals are like specific destinations you want to reach. For instance, one of your goals could be enhancing the security of your web applications to prevent negative audit and compliance reports, as well as thwarting malicious intrusions and hack attacks.

Objectives

Think of your objectives as the stepping stones on the path to achieving your bigger, long-term goals. For instance, one of your objectives could involve implementing a regular web application security testing plan for the upcoming year, be it on a monthly, quarterly, or as-needed basis whenever code changes occur within your business web applications.

Key Aspects

  • Application and Server Configuration: Potential vulnerabilities stem from encryption/cryptographic setups and web server configurations, among others.
  • Input Validation and Error Handling: Ensuring protection against common injection vulnerabilities like SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS), which often arise from inadequate input and output handling.
  • Authentication and Session Management: Guarding against vulnerabilities that could lead to user impersonation, including the strength and safeguarding of user credentials.
  • Authorization: Assessing the application's capability to fend off both vertical and horizontal privilege escalations.
  • Business Logic: Crucial for applications providing essential business functionalities.
  • Client-Side Logic: In an era of JavaScript-heavy webpages and the use of various client-side technologies like Silverlight, Flash, and Java applets, this aspect is gaining prominence.
