Reconnaissance - Gathering information about the API endpoints, technologies, and authentication mechanisms. 2. Authentication Testing - Checking for weak or broken authentication mechanisms, including token mismanagement. 3. Authorization Testing - Verifying access controls to prevent privilege escalation and unauthorized access. 4. Input Validation Testing - Identifying injection vulnerabilities like SQL, NoSQL, and command injection. 5. Rate Limiting & DoS Testing - Evaluating API rate limits and potential Denial-of-Service (DoS) risks. 6. Security Headers & CORS Testing - Checking HTTP security headers and CORS configurations for misconfigurations. 7. Session Management Testing - Analyzing session tokens and cookies for hijacking vulnerabilities. 8. Business Logic Testing - Testing API workflows for logic flaws that could be abused. 9. Fuzzing - Sending unexpected inputs to uncover potential flaws in API handling. 10. Logging & Monitoring Testing - Ensuring security events are properly logged and monitored. --- Reconnaissance Tools for API Testing Reconnaissance is the first phase of API penetration testing, where testers gather information about the target API to identify potential attack surfaces. 1.
