This book is a practical guide to discovering and exploiting security flaws in

web applications. The authors explain each category of vulnerability using

real-world examples, screen shots and code extracts. The book is extremely

practical in focus, and describes in detail the steps involved in detecting and

exploiting each kind of security weakness found within a variety of applications

such as online banking, e-commerce and other web applications.



The topics covered include bypassing login mechanisms, injecting code,

exploiting logic flaws and compromising other users. Because every web

application is different, attacking them entails bringing to bear various

general principles, techniques and experience in an imaginative way. The most

successful hackers go beyond this, and find ways to automate their bespoke

attacks. This handbook describes a proven methodology that combines the virtues

of human intelligence and computerized brute force, often with devastating

results.



The authors are professional penetration testers who have been involved in web

application security for nearly a decade. They have presented training courses

at the Black Hat security conferences throughout the world. Under the alias

"PortSwigger", Dafydd developed the popular Burp Suite of web application hack

tools.
