What is White Box Testing?
White box testing tests the resilience of the internal, and external systems of an application by evaluating the source code thoroughly. Yes, the source code will be given to the ethical hacker who performs the testing.
It is a complex and time-consuming process.
Key Areas Of Cybersecurity
The CIA trinity or core areas of cybersecurity are:
Confidentiality
Information
Availability.
Definition Of Cybersecurity
Before going into the definition of Cybersecurity let’s cover some basics. Online communications take place in cyberspace, which is described as an electronic medium of computer networks. Hundreds of thousands of networked computers, servers carrying large amounts of data, routers, modems, and switches make up this vast network that makes the transfer of critical electronic data possible.
The act of protecting all of these from cyberthreats and cyberattacks using different applications, tools and the measures taken to protect the electronic data is the definition of cybersecurity
How to secure your application?
5 Simple Steps To Secure Your Application
Create a container for your application.
Begin with the developer.
Look for security flaws.
Keep up with the latest industry standards.
Adhere to a multi-layer strategy.
What is Cloud Penetration Testing?
Cloud Penetration Testing is an authorized simulation of a cyberattack against a system that is hosted on a cloud service provider. Its main objective is to find the threats and weaknesses of a system hosted on a cloud platform so that you can see how secure it is. Cloud app pen testing also requires a shared responsibility model.
What is DAST or Dynamic Application Security Testing?
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) simulates controlled attacks on a web application or service to detect security flaws in a running environment. It evaluates items during operation and provides feedback on compliance and general security issues.
How to perform SAST?
There are six key steps to performing SAST efficiently in organisations with many applications built with diverse languages, frameworks, and platforms.
Disadvantages OF SAST
Needs to derive data from testing code, resulting in false positives.
Poor at comprehending libraries or frameworks, such as API or REST endpoints.
It is not possible to check calls for most argument values.
Language dependence(Such as java based, python based) makes it harder to create and maintain tools because it necessitates a separate tool for each language.
Advantages OF SAST
They hunt for theoretical flaws, such as established patterns of vulnerability that developers may be unaware of.
One may make the testing process more efficient by automating it.
They’re adaptable.
They’re great for situations like SQL Injection Flaws that can be identified automatically and with high certainty.
Fixing vulnerabilities is less expensive because it occurs at the beginning of the process.
Why do we need SAST?
SAST decreases application security risks by providing developers with instant feedback on vulnerabilities brought into code during development.
It assists developers in learning about security while they work by giving real-time recommendations and line-of-code navigation, allowing for quicker vulnerability detection and collaborative auditing.
What is SAST?
Static Application Security Testing (SAST) is a popular Application Security (AppSec) tool that checks an application’s source, binary, or byte code. It is a white-box testing tool that detects the start of vulnerabilities and assists in the remediation of the underlying security problems. SAST solutions examine an application from the “inside out,” They do not require a running system to scan it.

2. CEH(Certified Ethical Hacker)
CEH stands for Certified Ethical Hacker, and it is the most well-known of the EC-Council qualifications. It was created to show that the holder knows how to seek threats and vulnerabilities in computer systems with the help of malicious hacking tools.

1. OSCP(Offensive Security Certified Professional)
The Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) is an ethical hacking certification that teaches penetration testing methodology and how to use the tools included with the Kali Linux distribution.
