Day 4-7: OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy)

1. OWASP ZAP Introduction:


o Overview of OWASP ZAP, its features, and how it differs from Burp Suite.
o Learn how to set up ZAP as a proxy and intercept web traffic.
o Understanding how to use the Active Scan and Passive Scan features.
2. Hands-on Practice:
o Set up OWASP ZAP as a proxy and start intercepting HTTP traffic.
o Perform passive scanning to find vulnerabilities automatically.
o Conduct active scanning to attempt exploitation of the vulnerabilities.
3. Practical Exercises:
o Scan a vulnerable web application for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL
Injection, and other OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.
o Use ZAP's Alert Interface to review found vulnerabilities.
4. Resources:
o Course: "Introduction to OWASP ZAP" on TryHackMe
o Video: “OWASP ZAP Tutorial” on YouTube

Week 2: Web Application Vulnerability Scanners

Objective: Explore automated vulnerability scanning tools and learn how to use them for
initial reconnaissance and scanning.

Day 8-10: Nikto - Web Server Scanner

1. Nikto Introduction:
o Learn about Nikto, a popular open-source web server scanner.
o Understand how Nikto works and what types of vulnerabilities it scans for
(e.g., outdated software, security misconfigurations, common exploits).
2. Hands-on Practice:
o Use Nikto to scan a vulnerable web server for common vulnerabilities.
o Explore the scan results and analyze findings.
3. Practical Exercises:
o Run Nikto on a local vulnerable machine or web application.
o Interpret Nikto’s reports to identify misconfigurations and outdated software.
4. Resources:
o Course: Nikto Web Scanner Tutorial on YouTube
o Website: Nikto Documentation

Day 11-14: Wapiti & Arachni

1. Wapiti Overview:
o Learn about Wapiti, another open-source vulnerability scanner for web
applications.
o Understand how to use Wapiti to detect XSS, SQL Injection, and other
vulnerabilities.
2. Arachni Introduction:
o Overview of Arachni, a high-performance security scanner focused on web
applications.
o Learn how to run Arachni scans against web applications and interpret the
results.
3. Hands-on Practice:
o Use Wapiti to scan a test web application.
o Use Arachni for scanning and identifying web vulnerabilities.
4. Resources:
o Course: “Web Application Security with Arachni” on YouTube.
o Website: Arachni Official Site

Week 3: Manual Pentesting with Common Vulnerabilities

Objective: Gain practical experience exploiting common web vulnerabilities manually.

Day 15-17: SQL Injection (SQLi)

1. SQL Injection Overview:


o Learn about SQL Injection attacks and their types (Blind SQLi, Union-based
SQLi).
o Understand how to manipulate SQL queries to extract data from a vulnerable
database.
2. Hands-on Practice:
o Use SQLmap (or manual methods) to detect and exploit SQL injection on a
vulnerable test website.
o Practice error-based SQLi, time-based blind SQLi, and union-based SQLi.
3. Practical Exercises:
o Exploit SQL Injection vulnerabilities using Burp Suite and SQLmap.
o Extract sensitive information, such as usernames and passwords, from the
database.
4. Resources:
o Course: SQL Injection with SQLmap on TryHackMe or Hack The Box
o Video: "SQL Injection Basics" on YouTube

Day 18-21: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

1. XSS Overview:
o Learn about the different types of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Stored,
Reflected, and DOM-based.
o Understand how attackers exploit XSS to execute malicious JavaScript in the
context of another user’s browser.

o Exploit CSRF using Burp Suite or manual techniques (e.g., injecting a
crafted link into a vulnerable form).
3. Resources:
o Course: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Training on TryHackMe
o Video: “Understanding and Exploiting CSRF” on YouTube

Day 25-28: Putting It All Together - Web Pentesting Practice

1. Capstone Practice:

TryHackMe, Hack The Box, or VulnHub).
o Apply the tools and techniques learned during the month: Burp Suite,
OWASP ZAP, Nikto, SQLmap, XSS, CSRF.
2. Report Writing:
o Learn how to create a basic penetration testing report.
o Include vulnerability details, exploitation steps, and recommendations for
remediation.
