📖 What is White Box Penetration Testing? White Box Penetration Testing (also called Clear Box, Glass Box, or Transparent Box Testing) is a security testing approach where the tester is given full knowledge of the target system before the assessment starts. 🔍 Advanced White Box Pentesting Tips 1. 🧬 Map the Entire Attack Surface Early – Use architecture diagrams, code repositories. 2. 🛠 Perform Secure Code Review – Analyze source code for logic flaws, insecure API calls, and hidden backdoors using both SAST & manual inspection. 3. 📂 Deep Dive into Configuration Files – Check .env, YAML, JSON, and Docker configs for hardcoded credentials, secrets, or weak keys. 4. 🧠 Threat Modeling Before Exploitation – Apply STRIDE or PASTA models to anticipate high-impact attack paths unique to the given system. 5. 🔑 Evaluate Cryptographic Implementations – Identify weak algorithms, improper key storage, and flawed encryption/decryption workflows.
