Great start to web application security testing. Burp is one of the fundamental "best of breed' tools used in web application testing. This book does a very solid job of explaining how to configure an utilized Burp for performing security testing. Really the only component missing (and why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5) is context. While the book does an excellent job of "how" it won't give you much of the "why" and "when" so you'll want to pair it with some broader web application security testing how-to's. But that is pretty minor in the scheme of things and easily accomplished via some web searching. So in the end this book is a great starting place if you intend to use Burp as part of your web application security testing.

Burp Suite Essentials guides you through initial setup/configuration of Burp Suite through becoming a power user. A must read for anybody wanting to use Burp Suite for pentesting or CTF competitions.

Web testing is where it's at. People have pretty much figured out how to secure the OS's, and networks, Burp is the tool of choice and free! This book will get you up and running quickly. Akash has done his homework, and speaks clearly to me as I navigate this "New to me" tool. It's been within reach for a couple of weeks now for quick access, as I learn the ins & outs of web testing.

just completed the book...recommended for anyone who wants to start with Burp Suite and go upto the level of mastering the tool...an extremely well written book ...

Its a great book. A must read for bug bounty hunters and web app penetration testers.
