Key FeaturesThis book covers the latest technologies such as Advance XSS, XSRF, SQL Injection, Web API testing, XML attack vectors, OAuth 2.0 Security, and more involved in todays web applicationsPenetrate and secure your web application using various techniquesGet this comprehensive reference guide that provides advanced tricks and tools of the trade for seasoned penetration testersBook DescriptionWeb penetration testing is a growing, fast-moving, and absolutely critical field in information security. This book executes modern web application attacks and utilises cutting-edge hacking techniques with an enhanced knowledge of web application security.We will cover web hacking techniques so you can explore the attack vectors during penetration tests. The book encompasses the latest technologies such as OAuth 2.0, Web API testing methodologies and XML vectors used by hackers. Some lesser discussed attack vectors such as RPO (relative path overwrite), DOM clobbering, PHP Object Injection and etc. has been covered in this book.Well explain various old school techniques in depth such as XSS, CSRF, SQL Injection through the ever-dependable SQLMap and reconnaissance. Websites nowadays provide APIs to allow integration with third party applications, thereby exposing a lot of attack surface, we cover testing of these APIs using real-life examples. This pragmatic guide will be a great benefit and will help you prepare fully secure applications.What you will learnGet to know the new and less-publicized techniques such PHP Object Injection and XML-based vectorsWork with different security tools to automate most of the redundant tasksSee different kinds of newly-designed security headers and how they help to provide securityExploit and detect different kinds of XSS vulnerabilitiesProtect your web application using filtering mechanismsUnderstand old school and classic web hacking in depth using SQL Injection, XSS, and CSRFGrasp XML-related vulnerabilities and attack vectors such as XXE and DoS techniquesGet to know how to test REST APIs to discover security issues in themAbout the AuthorPrakhar Prasad is a web application security researcher and penetration tester from India.
