Practical Cyber Hacking Skills for Beginners - OWASP Top 10

The video tutorial covers the OWASP Top Ten, a critical awareness document for web security. It explains each of the top ten security risks, including injection attacks, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure, XML vulnerabilities, broken access control, security misconfiguration, cross-site scripting, insecure deserialization, using components with known vulnerabilities, and insufficient logging and monitoring. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these risks for cybersecurity professionals, especially those in penetration testing and ethical hacking.

What is the primary purpose of the OWASP Top Ten document?

• To provide a list of the most popular web applications

• To offer a guide on how to develop web applications

• To highlight the top ten critical security risks to web applications

• To list the top ten programming languages

Which type of attack involves sending untrusted data to an interpreter?

• Cross-Site Scripting

• Sensitive Data Exposure

• Broken Authentication

• Injection

What is a common issue with applications that have broken authentication?

• They allow unauthorized access to sensitive data

• They fail to encrypt data

• They allow attackers to compromise passwords and session tokens

• They execute remote code

What vulnerability involves security issues in XML processors?

• Cross-Site Scripting

• XML External Entities

• Injection

• Insecure Deserialization

What is a common result of security misconfiguration?

• Insecure default settings

• Data encryption

• Improved performance

• Enhanced user experience

What is a potential risk of using components with known vulnerabilities?

• Increased application speed

• Reduced application size

• Improved security

• Inheriting the vulnerabilities of the components

Why is insufficient logging and monitoring a significant issue?

• It leads to faster breach detection

• It enhances user privacy

• It allows attackers to exploit vulnerabilities undetected

• It improves system performance
