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.
