Top Tweets for #SafeHack
ZAP Proxy was adopted as one of the tools @Geekulcha #SafeHack hackathon for web apps since 2017. Glad to see it as number 2.
Top 22 Web Application Hacking Tools
We use OWASP Top 10 as a basis for cyber security hackathons. OWASP ZAP also came in handy in the beginning of the journey with #SafeHack back in 2017.

Here is the list of the top 10 API security risks in 2023.
๐ญ. ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ข๐ฏ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น ๐๐๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป - APIs tend to expose endpoints that handle object identifiers, creating a broad attack surface of Object Level Access Control issues.
๐ฎ. ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป - Authentication mechanisms are often implemented incorrectly, allowing attackers to compromise authentication tokens or exploit implementation flaws to temporarily or permanently assume other users' identities.
๐ฏ. ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป ๐ข๐ฏ๐ท๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น ๐๐๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป - The lack of or improper authorization validation at the object property level.
๐ฐ. ๐จ๐ป๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐บ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป - Satisfying API requests require network bandwidth, CPU, memory, and storage resources.
๐ฑ. ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐๐ป๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐น ๐๐๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป - Complex access control policies with different hierarchies, groups, and roles, and an unclear separation between administrative and regular functions, tend to lead to authorization flaws.
๐ฒ. ๐จ๐ป๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐น๐ผ๐๐ - APIs vulnerable to this risk expose a business flow - such as posting a comment - without compensating for how the functionality could harm the business if used excessively in an automated manner.
๐ณ. ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ - Can occur when an API fetches a remote resource without validating the user-supplied URI.
๐ด. ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ ๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ณ๐ถ๐ด๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป - APIs and the systems supporting them typically contain complex configurations, meant to make the APIs more customizable.
๐ต. ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ - APIs expose more endpoints than traditional web applications, making proper and updated documentation necessary.
๐ญ๐ฌ. ๐จ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐๐บ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ - Developers tend to trust data received from third-party APIs more than user input and adopt weaker security standards.

This reminds me of the work @Geekulcha does with #SafeHack and @ITWeb Security Summit Hackathon
#AfricaTechFestival
One of the ways @Geekulcha is playing itโs part in the skills gap is by hosting Cybersecurity hackathons like โฆ@ITWebโฉ Security Summit and #SafeHack

Self Education!
Formal education is good but
using formal education as a
hiring filter is nonsense.
The approach of team-based and self
learning works better.
Thoughts?
