PowerShell and REST
Using Representational State Transfer (REST) in PowerShell for penetration testing is a valuable approach to assessing the security of web applications and services. By interacting with RESTful APIs, penetration testers can identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses that could be exploited by malicious actors. Let’s explore how to use REST in PowerShell for penetration testing while aligning our analysis with the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) framework, a widely recognized resource for web application security.
OWASP analysis – injection
Objective: Test for injection vulnerabilities in REST APIs.
Methodology: You can use PowerShell to craft malicious input and send it as part of a request to test for injection vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, NoSQL injection, or OS command injection. We have the following SQL injection test as an example:
$uri = "http s:// api.snowcap cyber. com/resource" $queryParam = "...
