What are the risks of web application penetration testing?
A penetration test mimics a criminal attack on the web application firewall and may cause the same adverse effects as the criminal attack. Unsuccessful pen testing may result in server crashes, exposure or corruption of crucial data, and more. That's why ethical hackers apply caution and a clearly laid out strategy before going forward with the test. The guidelines for a safe and successful pen test are provided under the OWASP Top 10 guidelines.
