Web Services: Enumeration and Profiling


                                      Abstract
Web services hacking begins with the Web Services Definition Language or WSDL. A
WSDL file is a major source of information for an attacker. Examining a WSDL
description provides critical information like methods, input and output parameters. It is
important to understand the structure of a WSDL file, based on which one should be able
to enumerate web services. The outcome of this process is a web services profile or
matrix. The scope of this paper is restricted to understanding this process. Once this is
done, attack vectors for web services can be defined. The scope of attack vectors will be
covered in the next paper.
