Product Description
There is no such thing as "perfect security" when it comes to keeping all systems intact and functioning properly. Good penetration (pen) testing creates a balance that allows a system to be secure while simultaneously being fully functional. With this book, you′ll learn how to become an effective penetrator (i.e., a white hat or ethical hacker) in order to circumvent the security features of a Web application so that those features can be accurately evaluated and adequate security precautions can be put in place.

After a review of the basics of web applications, you′ll be introduced to web application hacking concepts and techniques such as vulnerability analysis, attack simulation, results analysis, manuals, source code, and circuit diagrams. These web application hacking concepts and techniques will prove useful information for ultimately securing the resources that need your protection.

What you will learn from this book
∗ Surveillance techniques that an attacker uses when targeting a system for a strike
∗ Various types of issues that exist within the modern day web application space
∗ How to audit web services in order to assess areas of risk and exposure
∗ How to analyze your results and translate them into documentation that is useful for remediation
∗ Techniques for pen–testing trials to practice before a live project

Who this book is for

This book is for programmers, developers, and information security professionals who want to become familiar with web application security and how to audit it.

Wrox Professional guides are planned and written by working programmers to meet the real–world needs of programmers, developers, and IT professionals.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars A must for web app security testing!, 3 Oct 2006 By  J. C. Westcott "Infosec Consultant" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    If you're interested in web application security assessment then this is definately one for your book shelf. With the focus of penetration testing moving more and more toward web apps this book is a certainly a timely release.. The book is structured well covering all the areas one would expect of a title on this subject. Chapter one covers the need for penetration testing, business requirements and methodology. Some web application basics follow with an overview of technologies and architecture. After a chapter on discovery we get to the meat of the book covering vulnerability analysis, attack simulation, tools and exploits. Testing is addressed both from a manual standpoint and with automated tools. A short chapter on documenting and reporting findings is followed by one on remediation techniques. This gives guidance on how to approach remediation in general and on an ongoing basis rather than the specifics of vulnerability. I like the chapter on building a test environment, the tools required and perhaps most useful of all - how to setup a collection of web application test targets. All in all a sound book - thoroughly recommended for anyone working or interested in web security testing. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
