The SAP Pentest Playbook is a community-driven, open-source resource that documents practical techniques, tools, and methodologies for conducting penetration tests on SAP systems and landscapes.

It is part of the OWASP Core Business Application Security (CBAS) project and aims to serve as a single, reliable point of reference for security professionals, pentesters, and researchers.

The Playbook consolidates distributed, often outdated or hard-to-find knowledge into a structured and up-to-date guide that covers:

• Well known attack vectors in SAP environments
• Misconfigurations and “works as designed” behaviors that can be misused
• Reconnaissance, exploitation, and post-exploitation techniques
• Detection and mitigation considerations

The Goals of the SAP Pentest Playbook are:

• To provide a comprehensive guide for conducting penetration tests on SAP environments.
• To consolidate distributed, often outdated or hard-to-find knowledge into a structured and up-to-date guide.
• To serve as a single, reliable point of reference for security professionals, pentesters, and researchers.
• To foster collaboration and knowledge sharing within the security community.
• To raise curiosity among security professionals in protecting SAP environments.
