دانلود کتاب امنیت API برای هکرهای کلاه سفید

The Application Programming Interface (API) is the backbone of the modern application. Whether you’re using the web or mobile or happen to be a sentient AI service, you’re using APIs every day – so much so that cybercriminals are increasingly targeting APIs, recognizing their pivotal role in applications’ data flow and functionality, and the gateway that they’ve become to a treasure trove of organizational data. Whether you’re a developer, security professional, or ethical hacker, this book exists to help you secure your APIs and protect your organization’s data.
Confidence Staveley is the best voice to bring this information to the world. Everyone needs her perspective on the impact of API and how it can potentially negatively impact the security and privacy of all our data. If you look at any significant breach in the last number of years, it is connected to the API in some way. I’m honored to have the privilege of writing this foreword for a brilliant person, Confidence. She is a powerful voice in the field of cybersecurity and represents the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
API Security for White Hat Hackers is more than just a title; it is a deep dive into API security. This book offers a hands-on approach to learning, emphasizing practical exercises that guide readers through testing APIs, identifying vulnerabilities, and implementing fixes. By focusing on real-world scenarios, readers gain invaluable experience in bypassing authentication controls, circumventing authorization mechanisms, and identifying common vulnerabilities using open-source and commercial tools.
I truly appreciate the care Confidence has placed in showing how you can break your APIs and offering guidance on how to properly design and threat model secure APIs from the beginning. By gaining red team/breaker knowledge of API security, you set yourself up to better implement security controls that protect your APIs and, ultimately, your customer’s data.
My final advice for you is to study this book closely, gather all the knowledge and experience you can glean from the examples, and then take this newfound expertise and secure your APIs, including the new ones that you design and build and the older ones that require a bit of rework. Put this knowledge into action, and secure all the APIs!
