Web Application Penetration Testing Methodology

An organization hosts a website to deliver services to its customers. A visitor to this website reported to the organization that they receive an error message with code 502 when attempting to access the website. The issue was forwarded to the organization’s IT department. The IT department identified the cause of the error and began resolving it by checking whether the server is overloaded, whether name resolution is functioning correctly, whether the firewall is properly configured, and so on.
