So what does make APIs special and different? #apisecurity #apihacking #apis #pentesting

1) Interconnectedness, even if you're sure you don't have APIs, I bet your suppliers do
2) Large attack surfaces that are poorly documented, they balloon into hundreds of endpoints quickly

The biggest mistake I see in API security will probably surprise you... Whether in offensive security or defending APIs, most teams make one fundamental mistake that leaves their APIs vulnerable, they forget that APIs are web applications.
