By Uchenna Ihekaire

The Web Application Hacker's Guide: Exploiting Security Flaws Made Easy is the definitive, hands-on roadmap for anyone who wants to understand, exploit, and defend modern web applications. Whether you're a developer, security engineer, penetration tester, bug bounty hunter, or an ambitious beginner, this book gives you the clarity, confidence, and practical skills to master the art of ethical hacking.

Web applications power everything-from banking and healthcare to e-commerce and global infrastructure. Yet every day, attackers discover new weaknesses hidden in plain sight. This book shows you exactly how those weaknesses emerge, how they are exploited, and how to prevent them-using real-world logic, not guesswork.

What You'll Learn Inside

How web applications really work beneath the surface

The mindset and methodology of professional pentesters

How to uncover hidden attack surfaces through reconnaissance

Step-by-step exploitation of the most critical vulnerabilities

Modern attack vectors: APIs, cloud services, microservices, JWTs, OAuth, SSRF, and more

How attackers chain small flaws into full-system compromise

Defensive strategies that eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities

Every chapter is designed to make complex concepts simple, visual, and intuitive-so you don't just memorize payloads, you understand the systems behind them.
