A hands-on, beginner-friendly intro to web application pentesting. In A Beginner's Guide to Web Application Penetration Testing, seasoned cybersecurity veteran Ali Abdollahi delivers a startlingly insightful and up-to-date exploration of web app pentesting. In the book, Ali takes a dual approach—emphasizing both theory and practical skills—equipping you to jumpstart a new career in web application security. You'll learn about common vulnerabilities and how to perform a variety of effective attacks on web applications. Consistent with the approach publicized by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), the book explains how to find, exploit and combat the ten most common security vulnerability categories, including broken access controls, cryptographic failures, code injection, security misconfigurations, and more. You will also learn to identify and exploit vulnerabilities using automated tools and manual testing methodologies. The book provides hands-on guidance on using leading web application security tools, such as Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Nmap.
