Description

Maintaining your cybersecurity posture in the ever-changing, fast-paced security landscape requires constant attention and advancements. This book will help you safeguard your organization using the free and open source OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP) tool, which allows you to test for vulnerabilities and exploits with the same functionality as a licensed tool. Zed Attack Proxy Cookbook contains a vast array of practical recipes to help you set up, configure, and use ZAP to protect your vital systems from various adversaries. If you're interested in cybersecurity or working as a cybersecurity professional, this book will help you master ZAP. You’ll start with an overview of ZAP and understand how to set up a basic lab environment for hands-on activities over the course of the book. As you progress, you'll go through a myriad of step-by-step recipes detailing various types of exploits and vulnerabilities in web applications, along with advanced techniques such as Java deserialization. By the end of this ZAP book, you’ll be able to install and deploy ZAP, conduct basic to advanced web application penetration attacks, use the tool for API testing, deploy an integrated BOAST server, and build ZAP into a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipeline.

Who is this book for?

This book is for cybersecurity professionals, ethical hackers, application security engineers, DevSecOps engineers, students interested in web security, cybersecurity enthusiasts, and anyone from the open source cybersecurity community looking to gain expertise in ZAP.

This book does a great job at explaining the capabilities of ZAP in-depth while also providing instructions which are easy to follow and friendly to beginners.The book acts as a learning platform by teaching the reader how to perform common tests which can be applied to all web app security testing. This is accomplished by teaching the user how to apply ZAP to web application training resources such as JuiceShop and Portswigger Academy. On the other hand, the book contains detailed instructions on how to operate ZAP and use it more effectively, making it a great resource for both experience and inexperienced testers.If you are looking to begin your journey into web application security testing or want to learn how to use ZAP more effectively, this book is for you.

I am a security professional who uses these tools all the time, and I have to say I consider this one of the finer titles ive experienced. The chapters are concise, simple to understand for beginners, and has plenty for advanced users as well, which is rare to have the best of both worlds.ZAP is such an underrated tool in my opinion, and really gives you a major advantage in your security testing and research. It also is free, which is a huge plus for those just starting out in the field. I find it to be a relief that there is a guide this well written out there, and ill definitely be using this as the teaching guide for all I work with.TL:DR If you are looking to do security research or testing, please check out this fantastic guide on ZAP.

This book is written with such an amazing flow, it provides the knowledge you need to begin and then continually builds on that throughout the chapters. Having not used ZAP in many years, it helped as a refresher for me, but also provided advanced level information that truly makes the authors of the book best in class. The topics that are covered are those that you will see in the security industry on a daily basis.Whether you are starting out with ZAP for the first time or you are a veteran, these pages can provide you with exactly what you are looking for. I am glad to have a copy handy whenever I may need it.

This book was a fantastic overview of OWASP ZAP. The use of well-known and easily-accessible labs makes it easy for a novice to jump in and learn more about the tool. This provides a good alternative to the Portswigger Academy walkthroughs, most of which, understandably, focus on Burp Suite for solutions. Unlike Burp Suite, however, ZAP is free, open-source, and highly extensible.If you are new to Application Security: This book will provide you with a solid foundation of some basics for with an open-source tool with which you can practice at your own pace. After reading this book, following the labs, and reading the authors' thoughts and reflections, you should be well situated for web-based CTF challenges.If you are new to ZAP only: This book will provide a no-nonsense approach to ZAP's basic functionality and where to find further functionalities. It provides a quick way to transition to a free and open-source app, as opposed to a paid one. This knowledge will help you to further develop your skillset and your craft. After reading this, you should be well-equipped to jump right into ZAP's extensions: using, modifying, and writing your own.Highly recommended.

The book strikes a perfect balance between theory, strategy, and practical tactics, ensuring that both penetration testers and red teamers seeking to perform web application pentesting can benefit from its insights.One of the standout aspects of this book is the author's ability to convey complex ideas in an accessible manner. Despite the highly informative content, the book remains engaging throughout, catering to both seasoned professionals and beginners in the field. Regardless of your level of expertise, you'll find the content easy to understand and apply.Furthermore, the book's emphasis on balancing theory and strategy with practical approaches is truly noteworthy. The tactical approaches discussed in the book are highly valuable for professionals looking to enhance their offensive and defensive security capabilities. The author's expertise shines through, offering readers a wealth of knowledge and techniques to explore.In conclusion, "Zed Attack Proxy" is a remarkable resource for anyone interested in Proxy Tools or cybersecurity. It's filled with tons of good information, presented in a well-structured and accessible format. Whether you are a pentester or red teamer, this book will serve as an essential reference and guide.
