Más información sobre el libro

This comprehensive guide delves into web application security, focusing on real-world bug bounty hunting techniques, CVEs, and CTFs. It equips readers with the skills to identify vulnerabilities through source code analysis, dynamic analysis, and binary decompilation. Key vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection, XSS, Command Injection, RCE, and Reentrancy are covered, along with insights from real security incidents mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework. The book emphasizes the importance of mindset and toolset in executing successful web attacks. It introduces methodologies and frameworks, guiding readers on configuring environments with interception proxies, automating tasks using Bash and Python, and establishing research labs. Topics include attacking the SAML authentication layer, exploiting front-facing web applications, and vulnerabilities in IoT devices through practical CTFs and CVE discovery. Further exploration includes attacks on Electron JavaScript applications and the security challenges of auditing Ethereum smart contracts written in Solidity. The book also addresses vulnerability disclosure processes. By the end, readers will enhance their ability to identify and exploit web vulnerabilities. This resource is ideal for penetration testers, red teamers, developers, DevOps professionals, and security managers seeking to understand the risks associated with web applications, IoT, and smart contracts.
