decided to switch to the online academy by PortSwigger， they have 'moved' their much requested 3d Edition of this book online which is great， some things seem to be dated in the second edition I got my hands on。 even the exercises within this book are pointing to http://mdsec。net/shop/104/ which leads to PortSwigger （one of the co-authors is the someone behind PortSwigger responsible for Burp proxy）。ME LOVE IT！ decided to switch to the online academy by PortSwigger， they have 'moved' their much requested 3d Edition of this book online which is great， some things seem to be dated in the second edition I got my hands on。 even the exercises within this book are pointing to http://mdsec。net/shop/104/ which leads to PortSwigger （one of the co-authors is the someone behind PortSwigger responsible for Burp proxy）。ME LOVE IT！ 。。。more

I got scammed about 6 times 。 I aid almost couple of $$$ just to get some hacking services on social media 。 I took roughly 3 weeks for me to see a forum abut hackers that give code words before they will be enable to work on your project without upfront 。 I thought I could talk my way into having them work on mine without upfront 。 But unfortunately I was convinced by the spokes person to let them handle my project 。 It took only 18 hours for them to help me gain access into my spouse’s mobile I got scammed about 6 times 。 I aid almost couple of $$$ just to get some hacking services on social media 。 I took roughly 3 weeks for me to see a forum abut hackers that give code words before they will be enable to work on your project without upfront 。 I thought I could talk my way into having them work on mine without upfront 。 But unfortunately I was convinced by the spokes person to let them handle my project 。 It took only 18 hours for them to help me gain access into my spouse’s mobile device 。 They gave me a clone version of the device 。 I know this is funny but I secretly watch and view everything he does 。 I am waiting for the right time to unleash the Dragon on him 。 （Digitaltechhacker @ gmail com） 。 would be their personal email domain 。 Get in touch and the rest will be history。 。。。more

If you get a book that was written by people who developed an actual Web Application Testing framework， you can just make your best bet on the value you find in it。 This is a behemoth of a book with its 912 pages。 It was last updated in the year 2011， so the content is still very relevant today

We are so fucked。 I'm a professional software engineer who cares a great deal about correctness and about security。 I've worked on the security team at Google。 And I didn't know half of the exploits listed in this book。 The underlying technology is sufficiently complicated that I would be very surprised to learn that a nontrivial piece of software is adequately defended against _all_ of them。 Even if you aren't interested in breaking systems， this is a fantastic， eye-opening book on things to pa We are so fucked。 I'm a professional software engineer who cares a great deal about correctness and about security。 I've worked on the security team at Google。 And I didn't know half of the exploits listed in this book。 The underlying technology is sufficiently complicated that I would be very surprised to learn that a nontrivial piece of software is adequately defended against _all_ of them。 Even if you aren't interested in breaking systems， this is a fantastic， eye-opening book on things to pay attention to when writing robust software。 。。。more

A+。 Required reading for webapp pentesting， no exceptions。 Though it is often a bit wordy to convey simple messages。

Good overview of common web application vulnerabilities and how to protect or exploit them。 A little heavy on tools and promoting the author's paid practice website， but the content is very clear and accessible。Definitely go through Natas at OverTheWire to apply the concepts after reading。 Good overview of common web application vulnerabilities and how to protect or exploit them。 A little heavy on tools and promoting the author's paid practice website， but the content is very clear and accessible。Definitely go through Natas at OverTheWire to apply the concepts after reading。 。。。more

I bought this book quite a while back， but only started it a few months ago。 Being almost 10 years old， some of the information is a bit outdated， but the general principles still old true。Web Applications are omnipresent: be them to manage your bank account， order stuff， keep in touch with friends or seek for a job， chances are this is through one of these。 For most of them， security is an absolute requirement， and we trust the various controls to protect our money， credit card and personal inf I bought this book quite a while back， but only started it a few months ago。 Being almost 10 years old， some of the information is a bit outdated， but the general principles still old true。Web Applications are omnipresent: be them to manage your bank account， order stuff， keep in touch with friends or seek for a job， chances are this is through one of these。 For most of them， security is an absolute requirement， and we trust the various controls to protect our money， credit card and personal information， job and other interests safe。 without that trust， the whole "digital economy" would fall on its face。Web App pentest has become an important part of the security business， as finding vulnerabilities before the bad guys do is paramount to preserve that trust。 Simply think "Home Depot"。As for all pentest， this is 80% knowledge and 20% improvisation。 The former is covered， with a solid introduction to all facets of a Web applications， or at least of 2007 Web applications。 While this stays a very good introduction to the topic， it is due for a refresh， to take into account for example API accessible through Web interfaces。 。。。more

Good too much advertisingOverall， there was a lot of information。 I hated the constant use burp suite for this and that。 SHUT UP ABOUT BURP SUITE！！！ Also， all over the book are links to highly expensive pay by the hour labs that do not even include an answer key。 These are used as examples， also。 Another thing I dis liked was the last couple of chapters。 They barley fit within the book's title。 Good too much advertisingOverall， there was a lot of information。 I hated the constant use burp suite for this and that。 SHUT UP ABOUT BURP SUITE！！！ Also， all over the book are links to highly expensive pay by the hour labs that do not even include an answer key。 These are used as examples， also。 Another thing I dis liked was the last couple of chapters。 They barley fit within the book's title。 。。。more

Really good book， I learned a ton and it's great for creativity as well。I remember waking up everyday for ~2-3 weeks and reading this for 1 hour straight at 5:30-6am， just to finish the toughest thing first thing in the day haha。 Very hard to read， looking back I have no idea how I did it :） Really good book， I learned a ton and it's great for creativity as well。I remember waking up everyday for ~2-3 weeks and reading this for 1 hour straight at 5:30-6am， just to finish the toughest thing first thing in the day haha。 Very hard to read， looking back I have no idea how I did it :） 。。。more
