While testing web applications for performance is common, the ever-changing threat landscape makes security testing much more difficult for the defender.There are many web application tools that claim to provide a complete survey and defense against potential threats, but they must be analyzed in line with the security needs of each web application or service. We must understand how an attacker approaches a web application and the implications of breaching its defenses.Through the first part of the book, Adrian Pruteanu walks you through commonly encountered vulnerabilities and how to take advantage of them to achieve your goal. The latter part of the book shifts gears and puts the newly learned techniques into practice, going over scenarios where the target may be a popular content management system or a containerized application and its network.Becoming the Hacker is a clear guide to web application security from an attacker's point of view, from which both sides can benefit.What you will learnStudy the mindset of an attackerAdopt defensive strategiesClassify and plan for standard web application security threatsPrepare to combat standard system security problemsDefend WordPress and mobile applicationsUse security tools and plan for defense against remote executionWho this book is forThe reader should have basic security experience, for example, through running a network or encountering security issues during application development.
