Real-World Bug Hunting - Peter Yaworski

Really enjoyed this book, especially in contrast with the OSINT Handbook (Dale Meredith). No boasting, no showing off anyone’s professionalism. The author struck me as a humble, respectful, and thoughtful person.

What I liked about the book: It’s structured as an almanac. In each chapter, the author explains one type of vulnerability in plain language and in detail. He describes which tools can be useful for discovery. Then provides several examples of the vulnerability found on major websites. He explains how the bug hunter reasoned and what difficulties they encountered during research. Wraps up with a summary.

I really appreciated getting so much quality information backed by real cases in one book, instead of reading a pile of scattered articles, blogs, or watching hundreds of YouTube videos.

I recommend.
