Customer Reviews & Comments
"Hacking Exposed: Web Applications" (HE:WA) is an example of the direction the "Hacking Exposed" series should continue to take. The authors follow the methodology proven to compromise the mightiest servers. HE:WA is practioner-focused, giving readers the opportunity to follow along as the authors dissect victim web platforms. I highly recommend this book for its technical strengths and its ability to convey important information in an entertaining manner. HE:WA is particularly strong where the authors choose to explain web technologies. Successfully compromising web platforms requires an understanding of more than Apache or IIS. Accordingly, HE:WA gives background on SQL, web services, and web-based management. My favorite aspect of the book is its ability to explain technical details of web-based systems with an eye towards security. It's refreshing to be introduced to web services, for example, as well as learn how to attack and defend them -- all in a single book! HE:WA describes numerous vulnerabilities, chosen to demonstrate classes of attacks. The authors provide useful methodologies for assessing web applications, each with accompanying code and text snippets. Their explanations of cross-site scripting were exceptionally clear, thanks to this approach. I found HE:WA to be a fast but informative and engaging read. The appendices, featuring "best practices" for securing web platforms, an assessment "crib sheet", and instructions for proper deployment of URLScan, bring this excellent book to a close. Scambray and Shema won't leave you hanging -- they share their knowledge to help keep your systems as secure as possible. This is the book to buy if you're responsible for web server security.
