The Basics of Web Hacking PDF

Introduction

Many of us rely on web applications for so many of our daily tasks, whether at work, at home, or at play, and we access them several times a day from our laptops, tablets, phones, and other devices. We use these web applications to shop, bank, pay bills, aĴend online meetings, social network with friends and family, and countless other tasks. The problem is that web applications aren’t as secure as we’d like to think, and most of the time the aĴacks used to gain access to a web application are relatively straightforward and simple. I n fact, anyone can use widely available hacking tools to perform these devastating web attacks.

This book will teach you how to hack web applications and what you can do to prevent these aĴacks. It will walk you through the theory, tools, and techniques used to identify and exploit the most damaging web vulnerabilities present in current web applications. This means you will be able to make a web application perform actions it was never intended to perform, such as retrieve sensitive information from a database, bypass the login page, and assume the identity of other users. You’ll learn how to select a target, how to perform an aĴack, what tools are needed and how to use them, and how to protect against these attacks.
