Module 12

Module 11

In Module 11 we learn about Web servers and Web application hacking techniques and tools. We reveal in detail web server attacks and countermeasures. The author describes the best practices in securing the webserver and application environments. Lastly, we review the SQL injections types and countermeasures.

Since we discuss WEB server vulnerabilities I found this interesting article about the WordPress vulnerabilities. After carrying out an analysis of 84,508 WordPress plugins, Spanish security researchers Jacinto Sergio Castillo Solana and Manuel Garcia Cardenas discovered more than 5,000 vulnerabilities, including 4,500 SQL injection (SQLi) flaws.  The SQL injection is one of the most popular hacks but also one of the oldest. If  still use WordPress  maybe you should use a different platform.
