Webap hackers handbook.pdf

The focus of this book is highly practical. While we include sufficient back-
ground and theory for you to understand the vulnerabilities that web applica-
tions contain, our primary concern is with the tasks and techniques that you
need to master in order to break into them. Throughout the book, we spell out
the specific steps that you need to take to detect each type of vulnerability, and
how to exploit it to perform unauthorized actions. We also include a wealth of
real-world examples, derived from the authors’ many years of experience, illus-
trating how different kinds of security flaw manifest themselves in today’s web
applications.

Security awareness is usually a two-edged sword. Just as application devel-
opers can benefit from understanding the methods used by attackers, hackers
can gain from knowing how applications can effectively defend themselves. In
addition to describing security vulnerabilities and attack techniques, we also
describe in detail the countermeasures that applications can take to thwart an
attacker. For those of you who perform penetration tests of web applications,
this will enable you to provide high-quality remediation advice to the owners
of the applications you compromise.
