Advanced Techniques to Search for Vulnerabilities
This chapter goes much deeper into vulnerabilities. The importance of combining several techniques and tools to find complex vulnerabilities and the recommendations for using them are mentioned.
You will learn how to use advanced vulnerability scanning techniques to participate in bug bounty programs and other high-level security projects.
Also, you will learn about advanced techniques used to identify vulnerabilities and security risks – from fuzzing techniques to code analysis and reverse engineering techniques – and how to apply these techniques to find vulnerabilities and security risks in applications and systems.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- A brief review of basic vulnerability search techniques
- Exploring human errors
- Advanced enumeration
- Code injection
- Privilege escalation
- Reverse engineering
- Analysis of mobile applications
Let us dive in!
