Rest — CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) Practice Questions

REST, or Representational State Transfer, is an architectural style for designing networked APIs that uses standard HTTP methods and stateless communication to expose resources via URLs. On the PenTest+ exam, REST APIs are important because they are widely deployed and often carry the same vulnerabilities as traditional web applications, including improper input validation, excessive data exposure, and broken object-level authorization. Testers must understand how to interact with REST endpoints, interpret JSON responses, and identify authentication weaknesses such as missing or poorly implemented token validation.
