Penetration Testing for Web Applications
Web Application Penetration Testing allows you to pinpoint exploitable Cross-Site Scripting, SQL Injection, Remote File Inclusion, and other vulnerabilities in your web applications, not only providing visibility into where application weaknesses exist, but also determining how they can open the door to subsequent network-based attacks.
With Web Application Penetration, you can regularly and safely test web applications against actual data breach attempts, without requiring advanced technical skills.
iNet|Detect’s Web Application Penetration capabilities enable you to:
- Identify weaknesses in web applications, web servers and associated databases
- Evade web application firewalls
- Dynamically generate exploits that can compromise security weaknesses
- Demonstrate the potential consequences of a successful attack
- Get information necessary for addressing security issues and preventing data incidents
- Schedule tests to run at specific times or planned intervals
Conduct Penetration Tests that Address all OWASP Top 10 Threats
Web Application Penetration addresses the most prevalent information security threats facing organizations today, including all of the OWASP Top Ten web application threats.
- SQL Injection – Traditional and Blind (OWASP A1)
- OS Command Injection (OWASP A1)
- Cross-Site Scripting (OWASP A2)
- Broken Authentication and Session Management (OWASP A3)
- Insecure Direct Object References (OWASP A4)
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (OWASP A5)
- Security Misconfiguration (OWASP A6)
- Insecure cryptographic storage (OWASP A7)
- Failure to Restrict URL Access (OWASP A8)
- Insufficient Transport Layer Protection (OWASP A9)
- Unvalidated redirects and forwards (OWASP A10)
Other Web Application Tests
- Remote File Inclusion for PHP
- Local File Inclusion (LFI) PHP applications
- Exploitation of WebDAV configuration weaknesses
Replicate Attacks that Extend to Backend Network Systems
Web applications don’t exist in a vacuum and are typically networked to other systems. Consequently, a compromised web application can open the door to attacks on other network assets, compounding the damage caused by the initial breach. With the addition of web application testing to its comprehensive network and endpoint security testing capabilities, iNet|Detect enables you to safely assess your security against attacks that cross all three vectors. For instance, we can replicate an attack that initially compromises a web server or end-user workstation and then tunnels to backend network systems.
Successfully Test Custom Web Applications
Most web applications are custom-built, or highly specialized, and are often not developed with security in mind. Because of the level of customization, testing applications for security vulnerabilities requires the creation of unique exploits.
Web Application Penetration goes beyond web application vulnerability scanning and safely replicates data breach attempts against both proprietary and out-of-the-box web apps.
Generate Actionable Data for Efficient and Effective Remediation
Through its reporting capabilities, Web Application Penetration provides security professionals, web developers and database administrators with critical information for identifying security weaknesses, determining possible fixes, and prioritizing remediation efforts. iNet|Detect maintains audit trails of all web application penetration tests performed, servers and databases accessed, and all actions taken during testing. Like all iNet|Detect reports, web application test reports can be exported to HTML, PDF and Microsoft Word for further customization and distribution.
