API Testing
APIs have led to digital transformation in cloud, IoT, mobile and web applications. Without realizing it, the average person engages with many daily APIs, especially on mobile. APIs are interconnected tissues responsible for transferring data between systems, internally and externally.
Usually, the APIs used do not go through a complete test, if they are tested for security at all. Whether it is SOAP or REST, an unsafe API can open security gaps in anything associated with it. API security is as important as applications that provide their services.
In contrast, the Network Pen Tester will engage in so-called ethical hacking. These security personnel will set up tests that behave as if they were from a real digital criminal. By mimicking real-time attacks, computer, internet and network login testing will show exactly how systems respond to cyber security threats. Security experts will also provide clear repair advice that can be applied to software, hardware, or the human side of managing complex digital systems.
Basically, during an API login test, we test API functions / methods, how they can be misused, and how authorization and validation can be passed. We also test to see if we can create any type of command injection, or XSS, if the job response provides data on the page. We set up APIs for these types of tests in the hope of exposing other potential security risks.
