What this book covers

, Introduction to Penetration Testing and Web Applications, covers the basic concepts of penetration testing, Kali Linux, and web applications. It starts with the definition of penetration testing itself and other key concepts, followed by the considerations to have before engaging in a professional penetration test such as defining scope and rules of engagement. Then we dig into Kali Linux and see how web applications work, focusing on the aspects that are more relevant to a penetration tester.

, Setting Up Your Lab with Kali Linux, is a technical review of the testing environment that will be used through the rest of the chapters. We start by explaining what Kali Linux is and the tools it includes for the purpose of testing security of web applications; next we look at the vulnerable web applications that will be used in future chapters to demonstrate the vulnerabilities and attacks.

, Reconnaissance and Profiling the Web Server, shows the techniques and tools used by penetration testers and attackers to gain information about the technologies used to develop, host and support the target application and identify the first weak spots that may be further exploited, because, following the standard methodology for penetration testing, the first step is to gather as much information as possible about the targets.

, Authentication and Session Management Flaws, as the name suggests, is dedicated to detection, exploitation, and mitigation of vulnerabilities related to the identification of users and segregation of duties within the application, starting with the explanation of different authentication and session management mechanisms, followed by how these mechanisms can have design or implementation flaws and how those flaws can be taken advantage of by a malicious actor or a penetration tester.
