This is DRAFT of the table of content of the New Testing Guide v4.

Updated: 31st August 2012

Contributors List


The following are the main improvements we have to realize:

(1) - Add new testing techniques and OWASP Top10 update:
- Testing for HTTP Verb tampering
- Testing for HTTP Parameter Pollutions
- Testing for URL Redirection
- Testing for Insecure Direct Object References
- Testing for Insecure Cryptographic Storage
- Testing for Failure to Restrict URL Access
- Testing for Insufficient Transport Layer Protection
- Testing for Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards.

(2) - Review and improve all the sections in v3,

(3) - Create a more readable guide, eliminating some sections that are not really useful, Rationalize some sections as Session Management Testing.

(4) Pavol says: - add new opensource testing tools that appeared during last 3 years (and are missing in the OWASP Testing Guide v3)

- add few useful and life-scenarios of possible vulnerabilities in Bussiness Logic Testing (many testers have no idea what vulnerabilities in Business Logic exactly mean)

- "Brute force testing" of "session ID" is missing in "Session Management Testing", describe other tools for Session ID entropy analysis (e.g. Stompy)

- in "Data Validation Testing" describe some basic obfuscation methods for malicious code injection including the statements how it is possible to detect it (web application obfuscation is quite succesfull in bypassing many data validation controls)

- split the phase Logout and Browser Cache Management" into two sections
The following is a DRAFT of the Toc based on the feedback already received.
