Over 75% of network attacks are targeted at the web application
layer. This book provides explicit hacks, tutorials, penetration
tests, and step-by-step demonstrations for security professionals
and Web application developers to defend their most vulnerable
applications.
This book defines Web application security, why it should be
addressed earlier in the lifecycle in development and quality
assurance, and how it differs from other types of Internet
security. Additionally, the book examines the procedures and
technologies that are essential to developing, penetration testing
and releasing a secure Web application. Through a review of recent
Web application breaches, the book will expose the prolific methods
hackers use to execute Web attacks using common vulnerabilities
such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting and Buffer Overflows in
the application layer. By taking an in-depth look at the techniques
hackers use to exploit Web applications, readers will be better
equipped to protect confidential.
