Web Application Security Handbook V1

You don't need a degree. You don't need years of experience. You need the right foundation built the right way.

HackReady V1 is AstralGuard Cyber Academy's beginner handbook for web application security.

In one focused read, you will understand how HTTP actually works, how browsers communicate with servers, how sessions and cookies are managed, and exactly where vulnerabilities hide inside that process.

What's inside:

HTTP methods, status codes, and request structure ·

URL anatomy and what each part means for testing ·

Every major request header explained with security implications · CORS, preflight requests, and common misconfigurations ·

Authentication flows, session management, and cookie security flags ·

Rate limiting, CAPTCHA, and how attackers bypass both · SQL Injection, XSS, IDOR, and CSRF explained from scratch ·

Burp Suite fundamentals and the browser security boundary ·

Bug bounty reconnaissance methodology and report writing

This is not theory for theory's sake. Every concept is tied directly to how you find and report real vulnerabilities.
