This course is intended for people interested in information security—particularly in the penetration testing of various websites—to identify the security flaws present in the majority of newly developed websites and how to fix them. 

You will learn web penetration testing techniques using the Kali Linux operating system. You will be introduced to Python programming, web server technology, network management, open source intelligence, cross-site scripting, SQL injection, authentication and authorization in systems, cross-site request forgery, social engineering attacks, and concepts in information security management. 

Your knowledge of the various web application vulnerabilities and attack methods will be enhanced after taking this course. You will get hands-on experience with many tools used in online penetration testing in cyber security.

Web Application Penetration Testing

# Overview

As already established, sniffing out vulnerabilities is an essential skill for a pentester. Finding XSS vulnerabilities requires both manual testing and scans with powerful automated tools, such as Burp Suite. 

The process begins with automated tools; basic XSS vulnerabilities are quickly spotted. Then manual testing is done to catch more advanced XSS attack vectors. For manual testing, any forms, fields, and editable URLs are all noted, the related source code (if available or unobfuscated) is analyzed, and then special input is crafted for the attack. Trial and error may also be employed, but that will take up a lot of time.

> **Note:** The techniques and approaches discussed in this lesson can be applicable to other types of vulnerabilities as well. 


Learn how XSS vulnerabilities are discovered and what approaches are used to classify them.
