Abstract
In today's digital landscape, companies with web applications face an
ongoing challenge of defending against cyberattacks. Proactive measures such as
penetration testing play a crucial role in identifying vulnerabilities before they can be
exploited. We highlighted the importance of penetration testing enabling companies to
make informed decisions when evaluating weaknesses. We extensively covered
common security vulnerabilities in company’s web application, including the OWASP
top 10. Through a successful collaboration with the Company, we conducted a
comprehensive penetration test using both manual and automated tests with tools like
Burp Suite and Metasploit. Our goal was to assist the company in mitigating risks and
staying ahead of cyber threats.
