Grokking Web Application Security is a brilliantly illustrated and clearly written guide that delivers detailed coverage on
How the browser security model works, including sandboxing, the same-origin policy, and methods of securing cookies
Securing web servers with input validation, escaping of output, and defense in depth
A development process that prevents security bugs
Protecting yourself from browser vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting, cross-site request forgery, and clickjacking
Network vulnerabilities like man-in-the-middle attacks, SSL-stripping, and DNS poisoning
Preventing authentication vulnerabilities that allow brute forcing of credentials by using single sign-on or multi-factor authentication
Authorization vulnerabilities like broken access control and session jacking
How to use encryption in web applications
Injection attacks, command execution attacks, and remote code execution attacks
Malicious payloads that can be used to attack XML parsers, and file upload functions
Grokking Web Application Security teaches you how to build web apps that are ready for and resilient to any attack. It's laser-focused on what the working programmer needs to know about web security, and is fully illustrated with concrete examples and essential advice from author Malcolm McDonald's extensive career. You'll learn what motivates hackers to hack a site, discover the latest tools for identifying security issues, and set up a development lifecycle that catches security issues early. Read it cover to cover for a comprehensive overview of web security, and dip in as a reference whenever you need to tackle a specific vulnerability.

About the technology
Security is vital for any application, especially those deployed on the web! The internet is full of scripts, bots, and hackers who will seize any opportunity to attack, crack, and hack your site for their own ends. It doesn't matter which part of a web app you work with-security vulnerabilities can be found in both frontends and backends. Luckily, this comprehensive guide is here with no-nonsense advice that will keep your web apps safe.

About the book
Grokking Web Application Security teaches you everything you need to know to secure your web applications in the browser, on the server, and even at the code level. The book is perfect for both junior and experienced learners. It's written to be language-agnostic, with advice and vulnerability insights that will work with any stack.
You'll begin with the foundations of web security and then dive into dozens of practical security recommendations for both common and not-so-common vulnerabilities-everything from SQL injection to cross-site scripting inclusion attacks. Explore growing modern threats like supply-chain attacks and attacks on APIs, learn about cryptography and how it applies to the web, and discover how to pick up the pieces after a hacker has successfully gotten inside your app.
