Product Description
In the evolution of hacking, firewalls are a mere speed bump. Hacking continues to develop, becoming ever more sophisticated, adapting and growing in ingenuity as well as in the damage that results. Web attacks running over web ports strike with enormous impact. Stuart McClure's new book focuses on Web hacking, an area where organizations are particularly vulnerable. The material covers the web commerce "playground', describing web languages and protocols, web and database servers, and payment systems. The authors bring unparalleled insight to both well- known and lesser known web vulnerabilities. They show the dangerous range of the many different attacks web hackers harbor in their bag of tricks -- including buffer overflows, the most wicked of attacks, plus other advanced attacks. The book features complete methodologies, including techniques and attacks, countermeasures, tools, plus case studies and web attack scenarios showing how different attacks work and why they work.

 Great Book for Web Developers or Administrators April 3, 2005
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book is great if you develop websites, especially if you maintain a webserver. I am fairly well versed on basic security measures, but there was alot of stuff in this book that I didn't know. Its not a book for someone who is looking for an in-depth detailed book about network security, but its a really good overview of web attacks and how to avoid being hit.
The book is also well written, and easy and fun to read. The writers do a good job of making the content fun and entertaining. You won't be disapointed with this book unless you are already very familiar with many different types of web attacks.

 Rehash of basic web technologies August 6, 2004
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was disappointed in what this book had to offer. I was hoping for a full text of web exploits and how to defend against them. Instead the first half of the book covers information such as languages of the web and how to read URL's. It is as if the author assumes the reader has no knowledge of web technologies and systems. I am finding this to be a common problem with network security books, they are written for readers with little real knowledge of networking, let alone network security. Surly they sell many copies because "hacking" is in the title though.
This is not the book for the serious IT professional, you would do better to look elsewhere for security insights.
If you are responsible for a web site, get this book March 29, 2004

This no-fluff book weighs in at just under 500 pages that are guaranteed to quell any feelings of complacency you may have about the safety of your website. One of the gnawing concerns I live with is that my website will be hacked. I can't say this book made me feel better about that fear, but it brought to light a number of things to talk to my people about. Using real-world examples, it explains the kinds of openings hackers look for, and the ways they exploit those openings to do their damage. In some senses, this book is not just a warning, it is also a how-to for Internet security. The general premise of this book is that no one is safe from attack, and if you're not already a victim, that's only a matter your good luck so far. Read this book. Study it carefully. Keep it on the nearest, most convenient bookshelf. New kinds of attacks are being developed all the time. But this book will prepare you for what's out there so far, and give you some insight into the kinds of things to watch for in the future.
