Key Features:
- A comprehensive guide to vulnerability assessment and penetration testing (VAPT) for all areas of cybersecurity.
- Learn everything you need to know about VAPT, from planning and governance to the PPT framework.
- Develop the skills you need to perform VAPT effectively and protect your organization from cyberattacks.
Description:
This book is a comprehensive guide to Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT), designed to teach and empower readers of all cybersecurity backgrounds. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced IT professional, this book will give you the knowledge and practical skills you need to navigate the ever-changing cybersecurity landscape effectively.
With a focused yet comprehensive scope, this book covers all aspects of VAPT, from the basics to the advanced techniques. It also discusses project planning, governance, and the critical PPT (People, Process, and Technology) framework, providing a holistic understanding of this essential practice. Additionally, the book emphasizes on the pre-engagement strategies and the importance of choosing the right security assessments.
The book's hands-on approach teaches you how to set up a VAPT test lab and master key techniques such as reconnaissance, vulnerability assessment, network pentesting, web application exploitation, wireless network testing, privilege escalation, and bypassing security controls. This will help you to improve your cybersecurity skills and become better at protecting digital assets. Lastly, the book aims to ignite your curiosity, foster practical abilities, and prepare you to safeguard digital assets effectively, bridging the gap between theory and practice in the field of cybersecurity.
Web application pen testing is a crucial process for ensuring the security of web applications by identifying vulnerabilities that could potentially be exploited by attackers. This process involves conducting various tests to detect any security flaws that could lead to unauthorized access or cause harm to the application or its users. Injection attacks, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), authentication and authorization vulnerabilities, information leakage, file inclusion vulnerabilities, insecure communications, Denial-Of-Service (DoS) attacks, and weak cryptography are the most common attack vectors that are typically covered during web application pen testing. However, the specific tests conducted will depend on the objectives of testing and the characteristics of the web application under examination.
What you will learn:
- Understand VAPT project planning, governance, and the PPT framework.
- Apply pre-engagement strategies and select appropriate security assessments.
- Set up a VAPT test lab and master reconnaissance techniques.
- Perform practical network penetration testing and web application exploitation.
- Conduct wireless network testing, privilege escalation, and security control bypass.
- Write comprehensive VAPT reports for informed cybersecurity decisions.
