Book Review: How to Break Web Software
Kristy Westphal
How to Break Web Software shows you how to do exactly that. It is, in a word, awesome! It is chock full of attacks for which all Web sites should be tested. Each attack description includes a detailed explanation, when to use it, and how to protect your site from the attack. The book is easy read, clear and complete in its explanations. Accompanying the book is a CD full of the tools that are referenced throughout the book, including the "hacme" bank application from Foundstone to practice on. Your biggest dilemma when reading this book will be deciding who else should read it — Your developers? Your QA team? Your security team? The answer is probably all of the above.
