Burp suite

What is Burpsuite you ask? Burp Suite is a Java based Web Penetration Testing framework.

It has become an industry standard suite of tools used by information security professionals to identify vulnerabilities and verify attack vectors for web-based applications.

In its simplest form, Burpsuite can be classified as an Interception Proxy.

A penetration tester configures their Internet browser to route traffic through the proxy which then acts as a sort of Man In The Middle by capturing and analyzing each request and response to and from the target web application.

Individual HTTP requests can be paused, manipulated and replayed back to the web server for targeted analysis of parameter specific injection points.

Injection points can be specified for manual as well as automated fuzzing attacks to discover potentially unintended application behaviors, crashes and error messages.

  Burpsuite is created by: PortSwigger Web Security

It is available as a free download with limited but extremely capable functionality.

However, the commercial suite is affordably priced and well worth the investment if you are serious about web penetration testing.

  Burp is easy to use and provides the administrators full control to combine advanced manual techniques with automation for efficient testing.

Burp can be easily configured and it contains features to assist even the most experienced testers with their work.

Black-box testing

Black-box testing is a method of software testing that examines the functionality of an application without peering into its internal structures or workings. This method of test can be applied virtually to every level of software testing: unit, integration, system and acceptance. It typically comprises most if not all higher level testing, but can also embody unit testing. Specific knowledge of the application's code/internal structure and programming knowledge in general is not required. The tester is aware of what the software is supposed to do but is not aware of how it does it. For instance, the tester is aware that a particular input returns a certain, invariable output but is not aware of how the software produces the output in the first place. In penetration testing, black-box testing refers to a methodology where an ethical hacker has no knowledge of the system being attacked. The goal of a black-box penetration test is to simulate an external hacking or cyber...

How to Use Your Phone as a Webcam?

A quick search on Google Play throws up several webcam applications. We tried 5 of the top 10 results, but most didn’t work properly. From the ones that didn’t crash repeatedly, SmartCam failed to show the video, and DroidCam needs you to install an app on Windows to work. IP Webcam is easily the best of the lot because it works through your browser, which gives it the cross-platform compatibility. To set up a security camera on Android, follow these steps. 1. Connect your computer and the phone to the same Wi-Fi network. 2. Install the IP Webcam app on your smartphone. 3. Close all other camera apps. Force close them from the app switcher before you proceed. 4. Launch the IP Webcam app. Scroll to the bottom and tap Start server. 5. The app will now fire up your phone’s camera and display a URL. Our URL was http://172.32.15.110:8080. 6. Enter this URL in any browser on your computer and hit Enter. 7. In the browser, you’ll see a drop down menu n...
