Pentesting APIs - A practical guide to discovering fingerprinting and exploiting APIs

Maurício Harley

Sinopse

Understanding API security is crucial as APIs form the backbone of modern interconnected applications, making them prime targets for cyberattacks. Drawing on nearly 30 years of cybersecurity experience and an extensive background in network security and forensic analysis, this book provides the knowledge and tools to strengthen your API security practices and protect against cyber threats comprehensively.
This book begins by establishing a foundational understanding of APIs, particularly focusing on REST and GraphQL, emphasizing their critical role and potential security vulnerabilities. It guides you through setting up a penetration testing environment to ensure the practical application of concepts. You’ll learn reconnaissance techniques, information-gathering strategies, and the discovery of API vulnerabilities. Authentication and authorization testing are thoroughly explored, covering mechanisms, weaknesses, and methods to bypass security controls. By comprehensively addressing these aspects, the book equips you to understand, identify, and mitigate risks, strengthening API security and effectively minimizing potential attack surfaces.
By the end of this book, you’ll have developed practical skills to identify, exploit, and secure APIs against various vulnerabilities and attacks.

Quantum Physics and the Higher...

Andrew Reeves

What if consciousness is not created by the brain, but the field from which all reality emerges?
What if observation itself shapes the world you experience, collapsing infinite potential into form?
What if the discoveries of quantum physics are not new at all—but a scientific echo of ancient esoteric knowledge?
With this audiobook you will discover how thought, emotion, and attention interact with energy; how inner observation transforms perception; and how self-remembering—long taught by esoteric schools—finds confirmation in the laws of quantum science.
Inside this book you will learn:
• How the “observer effect” mirrors self-remembering — and why awareness itself is the true creative act.
• Why the zero-point field is the physical counterpart of meditation — where stillness and infinite energy coexist.
• How consciousness behaves as the fifth state of matter, beyond solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
• Why emotional energy is alchemical fuel — and how conscious suffering converts vibration into light.
• Why synchronicity is not coincidence but feedback from a conscious universe responding to alignment.
• How Gurdjieff’s “inner laboratory” parallels modern physics in transforming energy through attention.
• What quantum entanglement reveals about shared awareness and the unity of all beings.
• How time, memory, and recurrence operate like quantum loops, echoing the eternal return.
• Why awakening is a negentropic process — the reorganization of energy through understanding.
... and much more!
