Pro API Security Testing in ASP.NET Core: Detect and Prevent Vulnerabilities Using C# and WebApplicationFactory

Proactively identify and mitigate API security risks using practical testing techniques in an ASP.NET Core development workflow.With APIs becoming the backbone of modern applications and digital transformation, they have also become prime targets for cyberattacks.This book empowers you to take control of your API security by integrating security testing directly into your development process. Through hands-on C# code examples using WebApplicationFactory and real-world scenarios from a vulnerable Banking API, you will learn to write security tests that verify your defenses against each of the OWASP Top 10 API Security risks.From broken authorization and authentication flaws to server-side request forgery and security misconfiguration, each chapter provides concrete testing strategies that catch vulnerabilities before they reach production. By following the testing patterns and practices presented in this book, you will build APIs that are not just functional but comprehensively secure.
