the web application hacker's handbook answer key

What happened to the answer key for the web application hacker's handbook? The book says to go to mdsec.net/wahh, but it just redirects to this site now.

Please contact mdsec.co.uk who will be able to advise further.

Is that still good idea to buy WAHH book?!!

It is still a fantastic resource. If you use the book in conjunction with our Web Academy then you should be good to go!

The link is not working: Fail with status: 503

Hi, Can you clarify which link you are referring to? Do you mean the link to the answers on the web archive? If so, i have just tried this and was able to access those pages without any issues.

After every topic, there is TRY IT option with links like http://mdsec.net/auth/406/ , http://mdsec.net/auth/406/ . But ebery link is redirected to https://portswigger.net/web-security/web-application-hackers-handbook. Could you please tell us , what's the use of this link in the book. It's really annoying

Hi Kartik, Those references in WAHH were a resource that could be bought separately from a different company, called MDSec Ltd. These are no longer available for purchase and the labs are no longer hosted by MDSec. The responses to the questions at the end of each section within the book can, however, be found using web.archive.org to view the answers: - https://web.archive.org/web/20151027041737/http://mdsec.net/wahh/answers2e.html
