· Input validation bypass -- Client side validation routines and bounds-checking restrictions are removed to ensure controls are implemented on all application parameters sent to the server.

· SQL injection -- Specially crafted SQL commands are submitted in input fields to validate input controls are in place to properly protect database data.

· Cross-site scripting -- Active content is submitted to the application in an attempt to cause a user's web browser to execute unauthorized and unfiltered code. This test is meant to validate user input controls.

· Parameter tampering - Query strings, POST parameters, and hidden fields are modified in an attempt to gain unauthorized access to user data or application functionality.

· Cookie poisoning -- Data sent in cookies is modified in order to test application response to receiving unexpected cookie values.

· Session hijacking -- Client attempts to take over a session established by another user to assume the privileges of that user.

· User privilege escalation -- Client attempts to gain unauthorized access to administrator or other users' privileges.

· Credential manipulation -- Client modifies identification and authorization credentials in an attempt to gain unauthorized access to other users' data and application functionality.

· Forceful browsing -- Client enumerates files located on a web server in an attempt to access files and user data not explicitly shown to the user within the application interface.

· Backdoors and debug options -- Many applications contain code left by developers for debugging purposes. Debugging code typically runs with a higher level of access, making it a target for potential exploitation. Application developers may leave backdoors in their code. Client Business will identify these options that could potentially allow an intruder to gain additional levels of access.

· Configuration subversion -- Improperly configured web servers and application servers are common attack vectors. Client assesses the software features, as well as the application and server configuration for poor configurations.
