Description
This course teaches you how to enumerate WordPress CMS.
WordPress cms are one of the most popular cms to build blogs, shopping websites, and more
WordPress comes with a lot of 3rd party plugins and themes
so do vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
We need to know how hackers attack WordPress thus protecting ourselves from the attacks
We will see how to enumerate and brute force with python, burp, wpscan, Metasploit etc
tools like wpscan do awesome job at enumeration and also at bruteforce attacks thus testing our password security
Metasploit have some auxiliary scanners and WordPress exploits to test against WordPress
we can script our code in python to bruteforce the login credentials and hence somewhat faster than the burp community edition
Burp professional edition has the option of multi-threading thus testing passwords faster
but in this course we will also get the reverse shell from the vulnerable WordPress machine
Bonus video includes how we attack a Drupal CMS using droopescan
we can use droopescan to scan WordPress , Joomla , Drupal , moodle, etc
but for WordPress we better use wpscan first
later we see some try hack me writeup which involves pentesting WordPress cms and exploiting it
after this course, you can try mrrobot room from tryhackme and test your skills
Who this course is for:
- Anyone who is interested in Pentesting
- Anyone who wants to learn how to pentest WordPress or any other CMS
