A comprehensive guide to effectively understand web attacks for web application security, featuring real-world bug bounty hunting techniques, CVEs, and CTFs Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Key Features

Learn how to find vulnerabilities using source code, dynamic analysis, and decompiling binaries
Find and exploit vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, XSS, Command Injection, RCE, and Reentrancy
Analyze real security incidents based on MITRE ATT&CK to understand the risk at the CISO level

Book Description

Web attacks and exploits pose an ongoing threat to the interconnected world. This comprehensive book explores the latest challenges in web application security, providing you with an in-depth understanding of hackers methods and the practical knowledge and skills needed to effectively understand web attacks. The book starts by emphasizing the importance of mindsets and toolsets in conducting successful web attacks. Youll then explore the methodologies and frameworks used in these attacks, and learn how to configure an environment using interception proxies, automate tasks with Bash and Python, and set up a research lab. As you advance through the book, youll discover how to attack the SAML authentication layer; attack front-facing web applications by learning WordPress and SQL injection, and exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices, such as command injection, by going through three CTFs and learning about the discovery of seven CVEs. Each chapter analyzes confirmed cases of exploitation mapped with MITRE ATT&CK. Youll also analyze attacks on Electron JavaScript-based applications, such as XSS and RCE, and the security challenges of auditing and exploiting Ethereum smart contracts written in Solidity. Finally, youll find out how to disclose vulnerabilities. By the end of this book, youll have enhanced your ability to find and exploit web vulnerabilities.

What you will learn

Understand the mindset, methodologies, and toolset needed to carry out web attacks
Discover how SAML and SSO work and study their vulnerabilities
Get to grips with WordPress and learn how to exploit SQL injection
Find out how IoT devices work and exploit command injection
Familiarize yourself with Electron JavaScript-based applications and transform an XSS to an RCE
Discover how to audit Soliditys Ethereum smart contracts
Get the hang of decompiling, debugging, and instrumenting web applications

Who this book is for

This book is for anyone whose job role involves ensuring their organizations security penetration testers and red teamers who want to deepen their knowledge of the current security challenges for web applications, developers and DevOps professionals who want to get into the mindset of an attacker; and security managers and CISOs looking to truly understand the impact and risk of web, IoT, and smart contracts. Basic knowledge of web technologies, as well as related protocols is a must.
