## What it is
A curated penetration testing guide that reorganizes the OWASP Testing Guide v4 into 9 test classes with concrete test cases, plus 15 extra tests, resources, and examples. It serves as a checklist-style reference for penetration testers and bug bounty hunters conducting web application security assessments.

## Use cases
- find test cases for a web app penetration test
- learn owasp testing methodology
- prepare a pentest report structure
- study for bug bounty hunting
- get payload and bypass examples for common vulnerabilities
- checklist for web security assessment
- learn information gathering and recon techniques

## When to choose
- you need a structured, OWASP-aligned checklist for a web pentest or bug bounty engagement
- you want curated resources and writeups organized by vulnerability class
- you need help mapping findings to OWASP test IDs for reporting

## When to avoid
- you need an automated scanning or exploitation tool rather than a manual guide
- you require up-to-date coverage of the latest OWASP WSTG version, as this is based on v4 and last released in 2022
- you are looking for network or infrastructure-only pentesting guidance outside web applications

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
