Abstract
Web application penetration testing is known as pretesting. It is a critical process for identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities in web applications. Statistics show that 88% of organizations worldwide experienced phishing attempts in 2019. The most significant security violation was predictable resource location attacks were 34%, SQL attacks at 20%, and code injection attacks at 10%, together generating 64% of total web application attack activity. Also, 75% of IT leaders lack confidence in their web application security. The study of the literature review emphasizes the lack of security issues in web applications and some proposals about penetration testing procedures. The method sections talk about detailed procedures from scratch for doing web app pen tests. In the discussion section, the authors talk about some suggestions that organizations can follow to make their websites more secure and unauthorized access. In conclusion, conducting web application penetration testing in the proper way can play a crucial role in securing web applications.
