Reviews
Excellent Book!
May 4, 2018
Format: Paperback
Up to date excellent overview of some of the key Web Application Security Flaws and how to exploit them. It also covers the full scope of conducting a web application penetration test, this is an important distinction from most books I have found which merely teach how an exploit works.
Kali Linux is a great, but a lot of people are overwhelmed with the sheer number of tools it provides. For the Web Application Penetration tester this book provides a great manual for learning and organizing these tools into your process.
