The web powers everything—from personal blogs to global businesses. But behind every website and application lies a complex structure filled with vulnerabilities that attackers constantly try to exploit. Ethical hacking exists to stop them.

Hacking Web is an introductory guide designed for beginners who want to understand how web attacks work so they can defend against them, strengthen online systems, and even earn money legally and ethically through careers in cybersecurity or reputable bug bounty programs.

In this practical and accessible guide, you’ll discover:

✔ What web hacking really means—and why ethical hackers are essential to online safety
✔ The most common web vulnerabilities (SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, authentication flaws, misconfigurations, and more) explained safely and conceptually
✔ How professional security researchers legally test websites with the permission of the site owner
✔ How bug bounty platforms like HackerOne, Bugcrowd, and others reward ethical hackers for helping companies secure their systems
✔ The fundamentals of web architecture, HTTP, sessions, cookies, and security controls
