Hey guys it's me San. Welcome to my new blog today I'll share some information about Web Application Pentesting.
Introduction
What is a Web Server?
The term web server can refer to hardware or software, or both of them working together.
1)On the hardware side, a web server is a computer that stores web server software and a website's component files (for example, HTML documents, images, CSS stylesheets, and JavaScript files).
2)On the software side, a web server includes several parts that control how web users access hosted files.
• It's basically a computer with OS and some server
• Apache,MySQL,etc
• It has Web Applications in it
• PHP, Python,etc
It's just like a normal computer but it's pretty powerful yet we can do the same client side or server side attacks on it....
Because it is a computer it has an IP Address so you can basically do anything with it..
Web Application
A Web application (Web app) is an application program that is stored on a remote server and delivered over the Internet through a browser interface. Web services are Web apps by definition and many, although not all, websites contain Web apps.
Web applications include online forms, shopping carts, word processors, spreadsheets, video and photo editing, file conversion, file scanning, and email programs such as Gmail, Yahoo and AOL.
