Advanced ASP.NET Core 3 Security: Understanding Hacks, Attacks, and Vulnerabilities to Secure Your Website

Security guidance for real Core applications

Advanced Core 3 Security: Understanding Hacks, Attacks, and Vulnerabilities to Secure Your Website takes a practical look at how Core websites can be hardened against common threats. Rather than staying at the level of abstract advice, the book follows the security concerns developers actually run into: user input, authentication, authorization, encryption, data handling, logging, and configuration.

Scott Norberg’s approach is especially useful for readers who want to understand not only what protections Core provides, but also where those protections can fall short. The structure moves from foundational concepts into specific attack patterns and defensive techniques, making it easier to connect framework features with the risks they are meant to address.

What the book covers

• General security concepts and threat awareness
• Encryption and cryptography
• Web security issues such as CSRF, XSS, and insecure direct object references
• Authentication, authorization, and multifactor authentication
• Secure data access, storage, logging, and error handling
• Configuration and setup details that affect application security

A developer-focused security read

The contents make this a strong fit for Core developers who want a broader security perspective, especially those building or maintaining production web applications. It is equally relevant for readers who already know the framework and want a more careful, security-first way of thinking about its moving parts.

If your goal is to write Core applications with fewer blind spots and a better grasp of real-world attack surfaces, this ebook belongs on your shortlist.
