I am hosting multiple services, but my application/web security knowledge is lacking. Is there a guide or framework to check for common or risky mistakes? Is there a list of things I should check every application for, or guide on how to harden hosted applications? That is a topic that I am going to tackle in the near future, and would appreciate some tips in advance.
There's a browser extension you can use by owasp, I think it's "Penetration Tool Kit" or ptk
I stopped using it because it was slow (being a browser extension and all) but I do like how easy it was to use while needing to be logged in or get past captchas
Owasp zap is good for reconnaissance scanning
I really like burp suite for reverse engineering a web app. You can use the proxy to intercept http packets and see what every change illicits
Thank you!
