Attack Techniques

Web applications are one of the most common attack surfaces, making web exploitation a critical skill in penetration testing and cybersecurity. Attackers often target misconfigurations, weak authentication, and insecure coding practices to gain access, extract sensitive data, or take control of a system.

In this section, we will cover a wide range of web attack techniques, including:

• Injection of malicious scripts

• Hijacking sessions and stealing information

• Forcing users to perform unwanted actions

• Exploiting web servers to access internal resources

• Gaining command execution on a target web server
