Because Magento core files are not always vulnerable. At times it could be a buggy server. Some great tools to conduct reconnaissance for Magento penetration testing are:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"cferh\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Network Mapper(Nmap)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nmap.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nmap<\/a> can provide a large amount of information regarding the Magento target. It is a must-have tool for complete fingerprinting of the system. Nmap can reveal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open ports on the server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Services running on those ports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use NSE scripts for Magento vulnerability detection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nmap can do all this quite stealthily and has lots more to offer. To use Nmap, fire your Kali on the VM and in the command line terminal and type &#8216;<code>nmap<\/code>&#8216;.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image regular\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/https:\/\/images.storychief.com\/account_5336\/nmap-for-ios-no-iosmap_6abdab1c37902d682a0c0066cb903fc5_800.jpg\" alt=\"Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using NMAP\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Image: Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using NMAP<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the above image, the <strong>-sV<\/strong> option of the Nmap here enables version detection.

Also, there is a GUI version of Nmap known as <a href=\"https:\/\/nmap.org\/zenmap\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zenmap<\/a>, which simplifies things further.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image regular\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img width=\"1220\" height=\"700\"decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1220,height=700,fit=crop,quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/https:\/\/images.storychief.com\/account_5336\/zenmap-multi_2be83b76505057956566b33fc1b1ee44_800_02a6ce7a553be5ca2b3ef56170c6073a_800.png\" alt=\"Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using Zenmap\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Image: Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using Zenmap<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"57c5v\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">OSINT Collection Tool: The Harvester<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to reconnaissance for Magento penetration testing, there is a wealth of information available on the internet. This includes things like ownership info, nameservers, etc. which can help in mapping out the complete organization. This info is known as open-source intelligence and is very helpful for social engineering attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/laramies\/theHarvester\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The harvester<\/a> can collect data from sources like Shodan, Google, Whois, DNS servers, etc. Therefore, the Harvester is a one-stop solution for OSINT.

Moreover, most part of the OpenVAS is GNU general public license. This framework is a powerful vulnerability scanner that conducts some 50,000-odd Network Vulnerability Tests to find loopholes. OpenVAS is a free framework that gives the feel of a commercial security solution.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image regular\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/https:\/\/images.storychief.com\/account_5336\/openvas0_73cd95ec65baca25570a198f2e2270c7_800.png\" alt=\"Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using OpenVAS\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Image: Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using OpenVAS<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"d651r\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nikto<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nikto is an open-source vulnerability scanner that offers around 6700 test for server misconfigs and 1250 test for outdated server versions. Not only this, Nikto can scan for server-specific vulnerabilities of around 270 servers. However, for best results, disable your WAF or firewall before using Nikto for Magento penetration testing. To scan a target using Nikto, simply open Kali and type in the command terminal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><code>nikto -h 'your-target'<\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image regular\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/https:\/\/images.storychief.com\/account_5336\/1-147_1b9db9daca497297c4669dbd1990ba0d_800_e0689edd30f6c44cb6e30ec5b659c04b_800.png\" alt=\"Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using Nikto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Image: Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using Nikto<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"6vl0f\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Magento_Penetration_Testing_Exploitation\"><\/span>Magento Penetration Testing: Exploitation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now once the vulnerabilities are identified, it is time to remove false positives. This is done during the exploitation process. Only a serious vulnerability could exploit a Magento store. This can be done via the following tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"b4naf\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metasploit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written in Ruby, Metasploit is one of the most popular frameworks used for exploitation. <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Rapid 7, the company that owns Metasploit, maintains and keeps updating a large&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rapid7.com\/db\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">database<\/a>&nbsp;of exploits that can be run from the Metasploit framework.<\/span> Metasploit can be updated for your Kali Linux by typing the command &#8216;<code>msfupdate<\/code>\u2019.

Sqlmap can be used to fuzz and find vulnerable targets automatically. Not only vulnerable parameters but SQLmap can also be injected into data fields and forms on a web page. <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Sqlmap can exploit SQLi vulnerabilities to read the contents of a database, alter them, and, in some cases, even get a\u00a0reverse shell from the Magento store.<\/span> To test a target for SQLi using this tool, type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><code>sqlmap -u 'your target URL' --batch<\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">The&nbsp;<strong>&#8211;batch<\/strong>&nbsp;command automates the task and chooses default values during the testing process, as shown in the image below.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image image regular\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cdn-cgi\/image\/quality=80,format=auto,onerror=redirect,metadata=none\/https:\/\/images.storychief.com\/account_5336\/sqlmap_afc43f94ea15f701b5b5a8be18f07839_800.png\" alt=\"Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using SQLMAP\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Image: Magento Penetration testing and Magento Security Audit using Sqlmap<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1bslu\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Xsser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To exploit an XSS vulnerability in the Magento store,<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/epsylon\/xsser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Xsser<\/a> is one of the best and most lightweight tools.

Is the hosting service safe? Is there subnetting on the shared web space? Going for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantic.net\/vps-hosting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VPS<\/a> would be a recommendation here. Moreover, the use of certified SSL certificates needs to be checked. Remember to take an SSL certificate only from a valid certifying authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1kure\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Software Version<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure that the site is running on the latest version of Magento. Magento stops releasing security patches for older versions, so outdated sites are a security risk. Moreover, check that all the extensions are up to date. If the site is using the latest version, then ensure that all the security patches are installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5ofuh\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two-Factor Authentication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enabling two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to the Magento store. You can implement this via services like Google Authenticator, Authy, U2F Keys, Duo Security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4v2ev\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Users and File Permissions in Magento<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure to set a limit on the resources different users can access. In Magento 2.3, set permissions through the following instructions. Visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>System&gt;Permission&gt;User Roles&gt;Click \u201cAdministrators\u201d&gt;Role Information&gt;Role Resources&gt;Role Access&gt;Custom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here on, assign roles accordingly. Moreover, file permissions are also necessary. To set them, log into the server and use any file manager to assign file permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"cce1h\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Backup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the Magento store logs every activity, this can help determine the cause of a hack. Moreover, check for the availability of website backups during a Magento security audit. Ensure that at least 3-4 backups of the Magento store and its database are available. While using cloud hosting for the Magento store, make use of automatic backup provided by the service provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"465mp\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automation Prevention<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure that the Magento store is safe from bots and spam. To do this, you can implement a captcha on every input form like contact, feedback form, etc. In Magento 2.3, add a captcha by visiting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stores&gt;Configuration&gt;Customer&gt;Customer Configuration&gt;Captcha<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4dfv7\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Security Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure that the Magento store uses a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getastra.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a><a class=\"rank-math-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.getastra.com\/magento-firewall\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">firewall<\/a> to filter bad requests.
