Web Application Penetration Testing

Correct Answer: An attack that exploits a client-side scripting vulnerability in a web application to execute malicious code in a victim's web browser

DOM-based XSS attacks exploit vulnerabilities in client-side scripts to execute malicious code in a victim's web browser. These attacks can manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) of a web page to modify its appearance or functionality, and can be conducted through means such as social engineering or cross-site scripting. To prevent DOM-based XSS attacks, web applications should validate user input and sanitize all script output.

Correct Answer: Black box testing is a type of penetration testing where the tester has no previous knowledge of the system being tested, while white box testing is testing where the tester has access to knowledge of the system's internal workings.

Black box testing is a type of penetration testing that requires no previous knowledge of the system being tested, while white box testing is testing where the tester has access to knowledge of the system's internal workings. These two terms are often used in reference to web application penetration testing. The other answers are not accurate descriptions of either black box or white box testing.

Correct Answer: Penetration testing

Penetration testing is a method where security experts simulate real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities on a web application.
