What you'll learn

Learn how to test the deployed configuration that your applications are released on. In this course, Web Application Penetration Testing: Configuration and Deployment Management Testing, you'll learn how to perform systematic configuration and deployment management testing to ensure that misconfigurations, or mistakes made during application deployment, do not provide opportunities for attackers to compromise infrastructures or applications. First, you'll discover how to validate network and infrastructure configuration. Next, you'll explore testing the platform that applications are deployed upon. Then, you'll learn how to ensure that backup configurations and administrative interfaces do not open you up to attacks. Finally, you'll go through testing cross-domain policies for rich internet applications. By the end of this course, you'll have an understanding of how OWASP testing principles can be leveraged to systematically test configuration and deployment management.
