"The Basics of Web Hacking" introduces you to a tool-driven
process to identify the most widespread vulnerabilities in Web
applications. No prior experience is needed. Web apps are a "path
of least resistance" that can be exploited to cause the most damage
to a system, with the lowest hurdles to overcome. This is a perfect
storm for beginning hackers. The process set forth in this book
introduces not only the theory and practical information related to
these vulnerabilities, but also the detailed configuration and
usage of widely available tools necessary to exploit these
vulnerabilities.
"The Basics of Web Hacking "provides a simple and clean
explanation of how to utilize tools such as Burp Suite, sqlmap, and
Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP), as well as basic network scanning tools
such as nmap, Nikto, Nessus, Metasploit, John the Ripper, web
shells, netcat, and more. Dr. Josh Pauli teaches software security
at Dakota State University and has presented on this topic to the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the NSA, BlackHat Briefings,
and Defcon. He will lead you through a focused, three-part approach
to Web security, including hacking the server, hacking the Web app,
and hacking the Web user.
With Dr. Pauli s approach, you will fully understand the
what/where/why/how of the most widespread Web vulnerabilities and
how easily they can be exploited with the correct tools. You will
learn how to set up a safe environment to conduct these attacks,
including an attacker Virtual Machine (VM) with all necessary tools
and several known-vulnerable Web application VMs that are widely
available and maintained for this very purpose. Once you complete
the entire process, not only will you be prepared to test for the
most damaging Web exploits, you will also be prepared to conduct
more advanced Web hacks that mandate a strong base of
knowledge.
Provides a simple and clean approach to Web hacking, including
hands-on examples and exercises that are designed to teach you how
to hack the server, hack the Web app, and hack the Web user Covers
the most significant new tools such as nmap, Nikto, Nessus,
Metasploit, John the Ripper, web shells, netcat, and more Written
by an author who works in the field as a penetration tester and who
teaches Web security classes at Dakota State University"
