Next-Level App Hacking: Threat Modeling for Better Attacks
21Attempting to hack a web or mobile application can seem daunting. How do we even start? What kind of attacks should we test? Threat modeling is usually thought of as a tool that defenders use to help them protect their systems.

Never heard of threat modeling before? That's OK!! Using a real-life web application, you'll learn about threat modeling and how it helps you figure out what is most important, why it's important, and use that information to build better attacks.
