In the first edition of this critically acclaimed book, Andrew Hoffman defined the three pillars of application security: reconnaissance, offense, and defense. In this revised and updated second edition, he examines dozens of related topics, from the latest types of attacks and mitigations to threat modeling, the secure software development lifecycle (SSDL SDLC), and more. Hoffman, senior staff security engineer at Ripple, also provides information regarding exploits and mitigations for several additional web application technologies such as GraphQL, cloud-based deployments, content delivery networks (CDN) and server-side rendering (SSR). Following the curriculum from the first book, this second edition is split into three distinct pillars comprising three separate skill sets. JavaScript is a dynamic programming language that was originally designed for use in internet browsers. JavaScript is not only a programming language but also the sole programming language for client-side scripting in web browsers. Many code examples throughout this book are written in JavaScript. When possible, the backend code examples are written using a JavaScript syntax as well so that no time is wasted in context switching.
