About the Book

The landscape of web application security is evolving at breakneck speed. Standard vulnerabilities persist, but modern architectures—microservices, SPAs, serverless functions, and cloud-native deployments—introduce intricate new attack surfaces. "Web Application Attack Vectors 2025" moves decisively beyond introductory concepts, providing an advanced, practical exploration of the sophisticated techniques used to compromise today's complex web applications.

This book dissects cutting-edge attack vectors, revisiting foundational flaws like injection and XSS through an advanced lens while diving deep into contemporary threats targeting APIs (REST, GraphQL, gRPC), complex authentication mechanisms (JWT, SAML, OAuth, MFA), cloud infrastructure, and elusive logic flaws. Explore the nuances of advanced SSRF, deserialization across multiple languages, prototype pollution, request smuggling, cache poisoning, and advanced WAF evasion tactics.

Authored for intermediate-to-advanced penetration testers, security researchers, application security engineers, and experienced developers, this guide equips you with the knowledge to identify, exploit (ethically), and ultimately defend against the evolving threats of 2025 and beyond. Sharpen your skills and stay ahead in the intricate dance between attacker and defender.
