Automated Scanning Tools:

Pentesters (or hackers) often use automated scanning tools to systematically analyze websites for vulnerabilities. These tools, such as OpenVAS, Nessus, and Burp Suite, enable efficient and comprehensive scans by identifying common issues like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure configurations.

Manual Scanning Techniques:

While automated tools are powerful, manual scanning is essential for uncovering nuanced vulnerabilities that may escape automated detection. Skilled pentesters delve deep into a website's code, architecture, and business logic, scrutinizing each element for potential weaknesses that could be exploited by attackers.

Consequences:

If exploited by malicious actors, such vulnerabilities can result in critical data breaches, compromising sensitive information such as customer data, financial records, or intellectual property.
