Description

Web Penetration Testing (Web Pentesting) involves a comprehensive evaluation of web applications to identify security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers. It includes methods such as automated scanning and manual testing to uncover issues like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure configurations. The process aims to simulate real-world attack scenarios, providing detailed insights into potential risks and weaknesses. Ultimately, Web Pentesting helps organizations secure their web applications by addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited maliciously.
