Web Application Testing Starter Pack

Curated entry points for learning common web vulnerabilities and building a safe lab practice routine.

Start with intentionally vulnerable applications in isolated environments. Do not test systems you do not own or lack written permission to assess.

OWASP Juice Shop is a modern, intentionally vulnerable app suitable for guided practice. Run it locally or in a disposable lab network.

Practice sequence

  1. Map the application: roles, forms, APIs, and interesting parameters.
  2. Work through common classes: injection, broken access control, XSS, misconfiguration.
  3. Keep a finding log with request/response evidence (redact secrets).
  4. Retest after you think you fixed something in a training fork — confirm the fix.

Pair with methodology

Use the Penetration Testing Methodology Notes resource for scoping and reporting habits even in personal labs. Good notes transfer directly to real engagements later.
