A comprehensive guide and technique set for detecting and exploiting race condition vulnerabilities in web applications. It focuses on bypassing rate limits, exploiting Time-of-Check-to-Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) flaws, and duplicating transactions using advanced methods like Turbo Intruder's single-packet attack. Ideal for security assessments of state-changing operations (e.g., payments, inventory management, coupon redemption).

This guide details the implementation of robust API abuse detection mechanisms. It covers advanced rate limiting techniques, such as the Token Bucket and Sliding Window algorithms, to defend APIs against DDoS attacks, brute force attempts, and credential stuffing. It emphasizes using distributed stores like Redis for accurate, scalable, and adaptive security controls in an API gateway context.

This comprehensive guide details how to implement centralized security controls at the API gateway layer. It covers critical functionalities such as JWT authentication enforcement, advanced rate limiting, request/response validation against OpenAPI specs, and integrating Web Application Firewalls (WAF). The process is applicable across major platforms like Kong, AWS API Gateway, and Azure APIM, ensuring robust defense in depth for microservices architecture.

Implements comprehensive security controls for the entire API key lifecycle, including secure generation, hashing, storage, rotation, and revocation. This skill involves designing keys with sufficient entropy, enforcing per-key scoping, setting rate limits, and building automated workflows to prevent leakage and unauthorized access. Essential for robust server-to-server authentication.

This skill covers implementing robust API rate limiting and throttling controls using advanced algorithms like token bucket and sliding window. It teaches how to protect backend systems against attacks such as brute force, credential stuffing, and resource exhaustion. Key components include configuring limits per user, per IP, and per endpoint, utilizing Redis for distributed counting, and implementing proper HTTP 429 responses for effective abuse prevention.

This guide details how to implement multi-layered API threat protection using Google Apigee. It covers critical security policies including JSON/XML content validation, OAuth 2.0 enforcement, SpikeArrest rate limiting, and advanced regex patterns to defend against OWASP Top 10 threats. Ideal for establishing robust API security controls and meeting compliance requirements.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance on deploying and tuning Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules across major cloud platforms, including AWS, Azure, and Cloudflare. It details strategies to protect cloud-hosted applications against OWASP Top 10 attacks, implement rate limiting for brute force protection, configure geo-blocking, and refine rules to minimize false positives.

A comprehensive guide to configuring multi-layered DDoS protection using Cloudflare. This skill covers mitigating volumetric (L3/4) and application-layer (L7) attacks by setting up managed rulesets, Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules, rate limiting, and Bot Management. Ideal for strengthening security architecture and meeting compliance standards.

This comprehensive guide provides essential security protocols for building robust Laravel applications. It covers best practices for authentication (Sanctum, Passport), authorization (Policies), input validation, and protecting against common vulnerabilities like CSRF, XSS, and SQL injection. Key topics include secure file uploads, rate limiting, environment variable management, and implementing robust middleware.

This tool simulates advanced security testing to identify vulnerabilities in API rate limiting. It bypasses throttling controls by manipulating request headers (like X-Forwarded-For spoofing), varying source IP addresses, and manipulating endpoint paths. Essential for assessing API resilience against brute-force attacks, credential stuffing, and resource exhaustion, aligning with OWASP API Security guidelines.

This guide details implementing robust, multi-layered security for public-facing API Gateway endpoints using AWS WAF. Key features include configuring managed rule groups for OWASP Top 10 protection, setting up granular rate limiting to prevent abuse, implementing bot mitigation, and performing IP reputation filtering. Essential for maintaining API integrity and availability.

A comprehensive guide for systematically assessing REST and GraphQL API endpoints against the OWASP API Security Top 10 risks. This includes practical workflows for testing critical vulnerabilities such as Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), broken authentication, excessive data exposure, and rate limiting, using tools like Burp Suite, Postman, and ffuf. Ideal for pre-deployment audits and authorized penetration testing engagements.
