Assessing the security posture of a web application is a common project for a penetration tester and a good skill for developers to know. In this talk, We'll go over the different stages of a web application pen test, from start to finish. We'll start with tools used during the discovery phase to utilize OSINT sources such as search engines, sub-domain brute-forcing and other methods to help you get a good idea of targets "footprint", automated scanners and their use, all the way to manual testing and tools used for fuzzing parameters to find potential SQL injection vulnerabilities. We'll also discuss pro-tips and tricks that we use while conducting a full application penetration assessment. After this talk, you should have a good understanding of what is needed as well as where to start on your journey to hacking web apps.
