Hands-On Web Penetration Testing with Metasploit: The subtle art of using Metasp

Description: Hands-On Web Penetration Testing with Metasploit by Harpreet Singh, Himanshu Sharma Metasploit is one of the best frameworks used for enumeration and exploitation of vulnerabilities. This book will not only give you a practical understanding of Metasploit but will also cover some less known modules and auxiliaries for pentesting Web Applications. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Identify, exploit, and test web application security with easeKey FeaturesGet up to speed with Metasploit and discover how to use it for pentestingUnderstand how to exploit and protect your web environment effectivelyLearn how an exploit works and what causes vulnerabilitiesBook DescriptionMetasploit has been a crucial security tool for many years. However, there are only a few modules that Metasploit has made available to the public for pentesting web applications. In this book, youll explore another aspect of the framework – web applications – which is not commonly used. Youll also discover how Metasploit, when used with its inbuilt GUI, simplifies web application penetration testing.The book starts by focusing on the Metasploit setup, along with covering the life cycle of the penetration testing process. Then, you will explore Metasploit terminology and the web GUI, which is available in the Metasploit Community Edition. Next, the book will take you through pentesting popular content management systems such as Drupal, WordPress, and Joomla, which will also include studying the latest CVEs and understanding the root cause of vulnerability in detail. Later, youll gain insights into the vulnerability assessment and exploitation of technological platforms such as JBoss, Jenkins, and Tomcat. Finally, youll learn how to fuzz web applications to find logical security vulnerabilities using third-party tools.By the end of this book, youll have a solid understanding of how to exploit and validate vulnerabilities by working with various tools and techniques.What you will learnGet up to speed with setting up and installing the Metasploit frameworkGain first-hand experience of the Metasploit web interfaceUse Metasploit for web-application reconnaissanceUnderstand how to pentest various content management systemsPentest platforms such as JBoss, Tomcat, and JenkinsBecome well-versed with fuzzing web applicationsWrite and automate penetration testing reportsWho this book is forThis book is for web security analysts, bug bounty hunters, security professionals, or any stakeholder in the security sector who wants to delve into web application security testing. Professionals who are not experts with command line tools or Kali Linux and prefer Metasploits graphical user interface (GUI) will also find this book useful. No experience with Metasploit is required, but basic knowledge of Linux and web application pentesting will be helpful.
