Web application penetration testing, also known as security testing, is a proactive approach to identify and address vulnerabilities in web applications. It involves systematically assessing the security controls, weaknesses, and potential attack vectors within a web application to enhance its overall security posture.
Manual testing: Conduct in-depth manual testing to uncover vulnerabilities that automated tools may miss. This includes testing for injection attacks, cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF), authentication flaws, session management issues, and more.
