Explore Qualysec's Web Application Penetration Testing Methodology

Qualysec’s methodology for detecting application security vulnerabilities involves using both automated and manual testing methods. The assessment starts with scanning and examining the application, followed by running vulnerability scans with automated tools and manual validation. The final stage involves manually discovering and exploiting implementation flaws and business logic with the goal of accessing privileged functionality, sensitive information, and the application’s underlying infrastructure.

The Methodology document provides a brief overview of the penetration testing process, which consists of the following phases:
– Pre-assessment
– Discovery and Testing
– Analysis
– Report generation
