Cyber Security Web Application Exploitation

Cyber Security Web Application Exploitation

Web exploitation is the process of exploiting vulnerabilities in web-based applications to gain access to sensitive data or control over the app. Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to take over the entire app, steal sensitive data, or use the app to launch attacks on other systems. A website vulnerability is a software code flaw/ bug, system misconfiguration, or some other weakness in the website/ web application or its components and processes. Web application vulnerabilities enable attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems/ processes/mission-critical assets of the organization. Having such access, attackers can orchestrate attacks, takeover applications, engage in privilege escalation to exfiltrate data, cause large-scale service disruption, and so on. Given this complexity, it's not easy to deploy and maintain web applications in a secure way. No application is perfect. Hackers are always on the lookout to discover and exploit vulnerabilities. An attack could be as simple as slowing down the server by making lots of HTTP requests. More serious attacks would involve installing a virus on the server or stealing sensitive data. Defacing the site by modifying site content, or deleting code or data are just as serious but more easily visible. Another attack is to run cryptocurrency miners on server infrastructure.

With a clear understanding of what website vulnerabilities are and how they can be prevented, organizations can be better equipped to avert attacks and harden their security posture. This article will enable you in doing so.

In this ethical hacking course you'll learn how to exploit the vulnerabilities found in web applications and web servers following the OWASP Testing Guide framework, used by companies all over the world to perform web penetration testing engagements. this course covers about Web Application Exploitation with Injection. You will gather knowledge about Web Application Exploitation & Web User Hacking.
