When you move past identifying open ports, you begin the process of web application hacking. In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the dynamic components that power the modern web—from PHP and JavaScript to database connectivity via ODBC/ADO. We analyze how developers’ design choices, like dynamic forms and server-side scripting, inadvertently create the vulnerabilities that attackers exploit, and we provide a roadmap for testing and securing these critical interfaces.
