You’re wrapping up a sprint-bound web security test. Which combined plan best reflects a structured methodology → attack surface → tooling flow?

Run Nikto; if clean, skip WSTG

Follow PTES phases; map tests to WSTG categories; focus on high-risk areas (auth/session, inputs, APIs, uploads); use Burp, ZAP, SQLmap, Dirb/Gobuster, Hydra as needed; report with exploit evidence and fixes

Start with OSSTMM wireless, then only do client-side checks

Run Wappalyzer; if WordPress, always exploit with Metasploit first
