Ask HN: Best online resources for learning web security
I find myself rather lacking in web security skills. I have a basic understanding of what TLS/certs/CAs/... are, gotten mainly from Wikipedia and blog articles but I often don't know how to make it all work together. What do you think is the best comprehensive online (free) resource to learn the ropes?

- csnewb 10y agoHe asked for an online resource, I gave him one. No shit buying the book itself is better.
- grzm 10y agoIs the PDF legally available online? The sources I see don't appear to be.
- csnewb 10y agoI don't think it is legally available online. Getting the physical book would be the best option since its legal and more thorough than any online resource I've found, but I don't know what your budget is like or if you even like reading books. Just saying that its one option you have.
- phaus 10y agoIn about 30 seconds I found several places to get it as an ebook, and at least 3 that have PDFs. O'Reilly's a good place to buy from.
