About

A methodology reference from recon and authentication through input validation, logic and APIs. It tells you what to test, not how to weaponise it.

Authorised testing only. This is a methodology reference, not a payload library. Test only systems you own or have explicit written permission to assess. Unauthorised testing is illegal.

Common tooling: Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, nmap, ffuf or gobuster, nikto and the browser developer tools, used within an authorised scope.

Structured around the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide methodology. Checks written in our own words.
