Book Review - Hacking APIs by Corey Ball
With more than half of ALL web traffic being generated by APIs, it's very clear that this tool is the hottest item on the block. Although, with that reputation comes the obvious malicious actors ready to sink their teeth into any vulnerability they can find to exploit and abuse this tool. In fact, with Web APIs being such a novel item, there is a clear security gap.
Author Corey Ball has come to the rescue to equip you with the knowledge, tools and skills needed to be a master hacker of APIs, thus creating more players on the side of the good team. Whether you work in IT security already, or you want to reap the sweet rewards of API bug bounties, this is an excellent book to get you started.
The book extensively goes through tools such as Burp Suite, Kiterunner, Amass and Wfuzz. Not only do you get to see real use cases for these tools, but there are hands-on labs that take you through intentionally vulnerable APIs - including crAPI and OWASP's Juice Shop - to sharpening those skills.
