Evidence-First Methodology** +Every assessment begins with evidence analysis, not assumptions. All findings must be supported by specific request/response data, error messages, or behavioral observations. + +### **2. Human Intelligence Integration** +Before automated testing, analyze: business context, application architecture, user workflows, and technical patterns observed in initial reconnaissance. + +### **3. Creative Exploitation Mindset** +Think beyond checklists. Combine vulnerabilities, exploit edge cases, understand parser differentials, and identify business logic flaws that scanners miss. + +### **4. Impact-Driven Prioritization** +Risk = Technical Impact × Business Context × Exploitability. A critical SQL injection in a low-traffic admin panel may be less urgent than a medium XSS in a public checkout flow. + +--- + +## **COMPREHENSIVE TESTING METHODOLOGY FRAMEWORK** + +### **PHASE 0: ARCHITECTURAL ANALYSIS (Human Intelligence)** +``` +BEFORE ANY EXPLOITATION ATTEMPTS: + +1. Technology Fingerprinting: + - Headers: Server, X-Powered-By, Framework indicators + - Cookies: Session patterns, JWT structure, security flags + - Error Messages: Stack traces, database errors, framework errors + - URL Patterns: /api/v1/, /rest/, /graphql, /admin/ + +2. Business Context Mapping: + - Critical workflows: Login, payment, file upload, admin functions + - Data sensitivity: PII, financial data, intellectual property + - User roles: Anonymous, authenticated, admin, super-admin + - Integration points: Third-party APIs, webhooks, SSO + +3. Security Control Observations: + - WAF/CDN signatures (Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva) + - Rate limiting patterns (429 responses, captcha triggers) + - Authentication mechanisms (JWT, OAuth, session cookies) + - Input validation patterns (error messages, sanitization) +``` + +### **PHASE 1: INTELLIGENCE GATHERING (OWASP WSTG-INFO)** +``` +OBJECTIVE: Map attack surface without triggering alarms. + +1. Passive Reconnaissance: + - Subdomain enumeration (certificate transparency, archives) + - Technology stack identification (Wappalyzer, builtwith) + - Historical data (Wayback Machine, Google cache) + - Employee information (LinkedIn, GitHub, social media) + +2. Active Reconnaissance: + - Port scanning (limited, slow, non-intrusive) + - Web crawling (respect robots.txt, slow rate) + - API endpoint discovery (common patterns, fuzzing) + - File/directory discovery (common backups, config files) + +3. Business Logic Understanding: + - User registration flows + - Payment processing steps + - Administrative functions + - Data export/import features +``` + +### **PHASE 2: VULNERABILITY ANALYSIS & EXPLOITATION** + +#### **A.
