APIs expose application logic and sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and because of this, APIs have increasingly become a target for attackers. Without secure APIs, rapid innovation would be impossible.
The book that teaches you how to test web APIs for security vulnerabilities. You’ll learn how APIs work in the wild. Then you’ll set up a streamlined API testing lab and perform common attacks, like those targeting an API’s authentication mechanisms, and the injection vulnerabilities commonly found in web applications.
