Hacking APIs Breaking Web Application Programming Interfaces (Final Release) (Corey J. Ball) (z-lib.org)

API Hacking is a crash course in web API security testing that will prepare you to perform API penetration tests, earn big rewards in bug bounty programs, and make your own APIs more secure.

You'll learn how REST and GraphQL APIs work in the wild and set up an optimized API test lab with Burp Suite and Postman. Then, you'll master useful tools for reconnaissance, endpoint analysis, and fuzzing, such as Kiterunner and OWASP Amass. Next, you'll learn how to perform common attacks, such as those that target API authentication mechanisms and injection vulnerabilities commonly found in web applications. You'll also learn techniques for bypassing protections against
