Supaya kamu ga pusing harus ngapain aja kalo mau pentest web ya.

Sumber: Pentest Book six2dez

Recon phase

• Large: a whole company with multiple domains

• Medium: a single domain

• Small: a single website

Large scope

• Get ASN for IP ranges (amass, asnlookup, metabigor, bgp)

• Review latest acquisitions

• Get relationships by registrants (viewdns)

• Go to medium scope for each domain

Medium scope

• Enumerate subdomains (amass or subfinder with all available API keys)

• Subdomain bruteforce (puredns with wordlist)

• Permute subdomains (gotator or ripgen with wordlist)

• Identify alive subdomains (httpx)

• Subdomain takeovers (nuclei-takeovers)

• Check for cloud assets (cloudenum)

• Shodan search

• Transfer zone

• Subdomains recursive search

• Take screenshots (gowitness, webscreenshot, aquatone)

Small scope

• Identify web server, technologies and database (httpx)

• Try to locate /robots.txt , /crossdomain.xml /clientaccesspolicy.xml /sitemap.xml and /.well-known/

• Review comments on source code (Burp Engagement Tools)

• Directory enumeration

• Web fuzzing (ffuf and wordlist)

• Find leaked ids, emails (pwndb)

• Identify WAF (whatwaf, wafw00f)

• Google dorking

• GitHub dorking/Github tools (githound, gitdorks_go)

• Get urls (gau , waybackurls, gospider)

• Check potential vulnerable urls (gf-patterns)

• Automatic XSS finder (dalfox)

• Locate admin and login panel

• Broken link hijacking (blc)

• Get all JS files (subjs, xnLinkFinder)

• JS hardcoded APIs and secrets (nuclei-tokens)

• JS analysis (subjs, JSA, xnLinkFinder, getjswords)

• Run automated scanner (nuclei)

• Test CORS (CORScanner, corsy)

Network

• Check ICMP packets allowed

• Check DMARC/SPF policies (spoofcheck)

• Open ports with Shodan

• Port scan to all ports

• Check UDP ports (udp-proto-scanner or nmap)

• Test SSL (testssl)

• If got creds, try password spraying for all the services discovered

Preparation

• Study site structure

• Make a list with all possible test cases

• Understand the business area and what their customer needs

• Get a list of every asset (all_subdomains.txt, live_subdomains.txt, waybackurls.txt, hidden_directories.txt, nmap_results.txt, GitHub_search.txt, altdns_subdomain.txt, vulnerable_links.txt, js_files.txt)

User management

Registration

• Duplicate registration (try with uppercase, +1@..., dots in name, etc)

• Overwrite existing user (existing user takeover)

• Username uniqueness

• Weak password policy (user=password, password=123456,111111,abcabc,qwerty12)

• Insufficient email verification process (also [e-mail] for account tko)

• Weak registration implementation or allows disposable email addresses

• Fuzz after user creation to check if any folder have been overwritten or created with your profile name

• Add only spaces in password

• Long password (>200) leads to DoS

• Corrupt authentication and session defects: Sign up, don't verify, request change password, change, check if account is active.

• Try to re-register repeating same request with same password and different password too

• If JSON request, add comma {“email”:“[e-mail]”,”[e-mail]”,“token”:”xxxxxxxxxx”}

• Lack of confirmation -> try to register with company email.

• Check OAuth with social media registration

• Check state parameter on social media registration

• Try to capture integration url leading integration takeover

• Check redirections in register page after login

• Rate limit on account creation

• XSS on name or email

Authentication

• Username enumeration

• Resilience to password guessing

• Account recovery function

• "Remember me" function

• Impersonation function

• Unsafe distribution of credentials

• Fail-open conditions

• Multi-stage mechanisms

• SQL Injections

• Auto-complete testing

• Lack of password confirmation on change email, password or 2FA (try change response)

• Weak login function over HTTP and HTTPS if both are available

• User account lockout mechanism on brute force attack

• Check for password wordlist (cewl and burp-goldenNuggets)

• Test 0auth login functionality for Open Redirection

• Test response tampering in SAML authentication

• In OTP check guessable codes and race conditions

• OTP, check response manipulation for bypass

• OTP, try bruteforce

• If JWT, check common flaws

• Browser cache weakness (eg Pragma, Expires, Max-age)

• After register, logout, clean cache, go to home page and paste your profile url in browser, check for "login?next=accounts/profile" for open redirect or XSS with "/login?next=javascript:alert(1);//"

• Try login with common credentials

Session

• Session handling

• Effectiveness of controls using multiple accounts

• Insecure access control methods (request parameters, Referer header, etc)

• Check for concurrent login through different machine/IP

• Bypass AntiCSRF tokens

• Weak generated security questions

• Path traversal on cookies

• Reuse cookie after session closed

• Logout and click browser "go back" function (Alt + Left arrow)

• 2 instances open, 1st change or reset password, refresh 2nd instance

• With privileged user perform privileged actions, try to repeat with unprivileged user cookie.

Profile/Account details

• Find parameter with user id and try to tamper in order to get the details of other users

• Create a list of features that are pertaining to a user account only and try CSRF

• Change email id and update with any existing email id. Check if its getting validated on server or not.

Forgot/reset password

• Invalidate session on Logout and Password reset

• Uniqueness of forget password reset link/code
