Hacking Web Apps: Detecting and Preventing Web Application Security Problems
'Hacking Web Apps Detecting and Preventing Web Application Security Problems' provides an in-depth, hands-on exploration of web application security, vulnerability assessment, and offensive exploitation techniques. Focusing on the critical weaknesses that plague modern dynamic websites, APIs, and cloud services, this guide delivers practical methodology for security testing.
Readers examine client-side and server-side flaw discovery, input validation bypasses, session hijacking, authorization flaws, injection attacks (SQLi, Command Injection), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), and automated scanning with industry-standard tools like Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP. Practical labs and vulnerability reporting guidelines are emphasized.
A valuable guide for penetration testers, bug bounty hunters, and web developers striving to build resilient, hardened web applications.
