Grokking Web Application Security, Malcolm McDonald, Foreword by Stuart McClure, 2024

Trying to teach yourself about web security from the internet can feel like walking into a huge disorganized library—one where you can never find what you need, and the wrong advice might endanger your application! You need a single, all-in-one guide to securing your apps against all the attacks they can and will face. You need Grokking Web Application Security.

The book teaches you how to build web apps that are ready and resilient to any attack. It’s laser-focused on what the working programmer needs to know about web security. In it, you’ll find practical recommendations for both common and not-so-common vulnerabilities—everything from SQL injection to cross-site scripting inclusion attacks.

You’ll learn what motivates hackers, discover the latest tools for identifying issues, and set up a development lifecycle that catches problems early. Read it cover to cover for a comprehensive overview of web security, and dip in as a reference whenever you need to tackle a specific vulnerability.
