A practical open-source security guide and checklist for web developers covering authentication, authorization, encryption, sessions, headers, configuration, and common attacks. It is written as a book-style repository of markdown documents aimed at both beginners and experienced developers.

Use cases

• learn web application security fundamentals
• find a security checklist before launching a web app
• understand how to store passwords securely
• learn the difference between encoding, encryption, and hashing
• review common web vulnerabilities like XSS, CSRF, and SSRF
• checklist for securing API endpoints and OAuth flows

When to choose

• you are a web developer wanting practical, actionable security guidance
