Hacking APIs is a crash course on web API security testing that will prepare you to penetration-test APIs, reap high rewards on bug bounty programs, and make your own APIs more secure.

You ll learn how REST and GraphQL APIs work in the wild and set up a streamlined API testing lab with Burp Suite and Postman. Then you ll master tools useful for reconnaissance, endpoint analysis, and fuzzing, such as Kiterunner and OWASP Amass. Next, you ll learn to perform common attacks, like those targeting an API s authentication mechanisms and the injection vulnerabilities commonly found in web applications. You ll also learn techniques for bypassing protections against these attacks.

In the book s nine guided labs, which target intentionally vulnerable APIs, you ll practice:
Enumerating APIs users and endpoints using fuzzing techniquesUsing Postman to discover an excessive data exposure vulnerabilityPerforming a JSON Web Token attack against an API authentication processCombining multiple API attack techniques to perform a NoSQL injectionAttacking a GraphQL API to uncover a broken object level authorization vulnerability
By the end of the book, you ll be prepared to uncover those high-payout API bugs other hackers aren t finding and improve the security of applications on the web.

Rezensionen
"Corey Ball takes you on a journey through the lifecycle of APIs in such a manner that you re wanting to not only know more, but also anticipating trying out your newfound knowledge on the next legitimate target. From concepts to examples, through to identifying tools and demonstrating them in fine detail, this book has it all. It IS the motherload for API hacking, and should be found next to the desk, well-read by ANYONE wanting to take this level of adversarial research, assessment, or DevSecOps seriously."
Chris Roberts, @Sidragon1, vCISO/Researcher/Hacker

"This book opens the doors to the field of API Hacking, a subject not very well understood. Using real-world examples that emphasize Access Control issues, this book will help you understand the ins and outs of securing APIs, hunt great bounties, and help organizations improve their API Security!"
Inon Shkedy, @InonShkedy, Security Researcher

"Even though the internet is filled with information on any topic possible in cybersecurity, it is still hard to find solid insight on performing penetration tests on APIs. Corey's book satisfies this demand not only for the beginner cybersecurity practitioner, but also for the seasoned expert."
Cristi Vlad, @CristiVlad25, Cybersecurity Researcher

"Hacking APIs is extremely helpful for anyone who wants to get into penetration testing. In particular, this book gives you the tools to start testing the security of APIs, which are becoming a weak point for many modern web applications. Experienced security folks can get something out of the book too, as it features automation tips and protection bypass techniques that will up any pentesters' game."
Vickie Li, @vickieli7, Developer Evangelist, Author of Bug Bounty Bootcamp

"[Hacking APIs is] the best source of API info I've seen. If you're curious about what APIs are and how they work, read it once. If you work with or create APIs, read it twice. If you break APIs, read it three times."
Graham Helton, @GrahamHelton3
