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

## Authentication

This is the mechanism for establishing the identities of users in a system. When users have stated their identity, it's necessary to validate that they are the rightful owners of that identity. Verifying the user’s identification is known as **authentication**.

A simple example of authentication is when operating systems authenticate users when they try to log in to the system. Another more involved example is when we try to log in to our Gmail account and Google asks us to verify our identity through two-factor authentication (2FA) by sending our phone or other email account a one-time password (OTP) code.
