In this module, we will delve into the arsenal of tools commonly used in web application penetration testing. From user-friendly interfaces like web browsers and Burp Suite to specialized tools like Sublist3r and FFuF, you'll learn how to harness their power for discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities. We'll also explore tools tailored for specific tasks, such as Nikto for server scans, SQLMap for database probing, and WPScan for CMS vulnerabilities. By mastering these tools, you'll be well-equipped to uncover and address security flaws in any web application.

In this module, we will focus on the crucial initial phase of penetration testing: information gathering and reconnaissance. You will learn to conduct manual inspections to understand web application behavior, leverage vulnerability scanning tools to identify security flaws, and utilize directory fuzzing techniques to uncover hidden directories and resources. By mastering these reconnaissance techniques, you will be equipped to map the attack surface and lay a strong foundation for more advanced pentesting activities.

In this module, we will dive deep into the world of web application attacks, exploring a wide range of vulnerabilities and their exploitation. You'll learn how to identify and exploit weaknesses such as Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection (SQLi), and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). Additionally, we will cover advanced attack techniques like Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), JSON Web Token (JWT) attacks, and Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR). By mastering these attacks, you will gain valuable hands-on experience and the skills necessary to assess and mitigate critical security threats in web applications.
