Web Application Security: Finding and Fixing Exploits in Modern Web Sites

By Corin Halstead

Web Application Security is a practical guide for learning how modern websites are attacked, tested, and repaired from a defensive security perspective.

This book introduces the common weaknesses that affect web applications, including poor input validation, broken authentication, weak access control, insecure sessions, API exposure, server-side vulnerabilities, and unsafe coding patterns. It focuses on helping readers understand how these risks appear in real projects and how developers, students, and security learners can approach them responsibly.

Inside, readers will learn how to think about web application security through testing, code review, threat awareness, and remediation. The goal is not just to identify flaws, but to understand why they happen and how to fix them before they create serious problems.

Written for developers, cybersecurity students, ethical security learners, and technical professionals, this book provides a clear foundation for improving the safety of websites and web-based systems.
