Master modern web application hacking through real-world techniques, powerful tools, and step-by-step labs.

This hands-on guide is your practical roadmap to web application penetration testing using the most relevant tools, frameworks, and exploit techniques today. Designed for security testers, bug bounty hunters, and ethical hackers, this book walks you through the process of discovering and exploiting real-world web vulnerabilities-just like the professionals do.

• How to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in modern web apps

• Effective use of Burp Suite Pro, sqlmap, XSStrike, ffuf, and kiterunner

• Remote Code Execution via command injection and SSTI

• Session hijacking, token tampering, and deserialization attacks

• Multi-step SQLi exploitation in DVWA

• Full attack path in Juice Shop-from recon to RCE

• Chaining bugs: auth bypass + IDOR + stored XSS
