As the title says ,i am looking forward to build some strong base in learning Web-Application hacking and exploitation,

For now i am not looking for advanced stuff such as understanding coding,playing inside xamp and wamp locally,

I am just interested in understanding about the basics of those attacks
and how it works? like that...

for now i am looking specifickly to understand basics of the following,
just basics because once i understood the basics of these attacks,

1)sql
2)blind sqli
3)Directory traversal attacks
4)xss
5)CSRF
6)basics of WAF
7)bacis working operation of shells
8)log-in authentication bypass
9)working of WebApplication firewalls and how it is implemented..

I know for sql and blind sqli i can find lot of materials on here and also on hackforums,but my concern is they are mostly looking forward to attack the site instead of focusing on the basic operations of it works..

So please give me some advice/guidance based on your personal experience,...

Hope i will get some specific advice Smile

There's not a way to "learn" such things; the best advice one can give to you is this:

you have to know hacking is not something you learn; it is a state of mind, where you study something so indepth untill you know it so well that you know how to manipulate it. You won't know web-hacking untill you don't know web, for instance. If you want to learn how to "hack" something, then you have to study that thing deep, and deeper if needed, untill you get to the point where you say: "Hey, if this is working like this, and I act like this, then I ll get it to do what I want and it's not supposed to do". that's it, so far so easy.
