Hacking the Code: ASP.NET Web Application Security

Description
More of a programmer's guide than a security guide, Hacking the Code explains how certain code can be attacked, shows how you should edit the code, and offers case studies and examples for doing so. The book establishes policies for object input, and shows how to audit existing code for potential security problems.

People constantly ask security expert Mark Burnett for a guide to writing secure code. They don't want a course on security, they want to fix their code. This book is a practical guide on how to maintain session state, how to properly handle cookies, how to get user input, and more. Instead of just telling you how to do it, Burnett shows actual code that can be dropped right into your applications. This book covers almost all security issues known. Burnett has put hundreds of hours of research into his code audit database and is now making that available to you.

Hacking a Terror Network: The Silent Threat of Covert Channels

Description :
Could you find a hidden terrorist message in time to save innocent lives?
"Russ has done it again, a great story teller in person and from the printed page. The bad news is, this is not just another story, it is the cold frightening and exacting truth about the world that we now live in...everyday" --Chet Hosmer, CEO, WetStone Technologies, Inc.


* Discover a hidden world of covert communications
* Immerse yourself in the technology
* Create your own hidden messages with over 100 included tools

In Hacking a Terror Network, Russ Rogers uses a fictional scenario to demonstrate how terrorists may use the Internet to coordinate and launch a new series of terrorist attacks. While the scenario may be fictitious, the techniques and technologies that Russ uses are drawn straight from the computer security world. It makes for a great read as well as provides a blueprint to the workings of covert channels. Most importantly, it describes how law enforcement agencies and intelligence organizations can detect, defend and destroy threats. This book is packed with real-life examples of how tools work, including screenshots and narrative tutorials. Both amateurs and seasoned security professionals will benefit from reading this book. --from the Foreword by Matthew G. Devost, President and CEO, Terrorism Research Center, Inc.

There is a plot underway to attack American interests...

A decade-old grudge against the West comes to fruition as a child follows the path of the father's hatred for America and vows to avenge a brother. The American dream is in danger and can be saved only through the diligence and imagination of one man. An American agent suspects a plot but needs to prove it in order to draw attention to the danger. But how are the terrorists communicating? He needs to break the code to stop the plot that could kill thousands of innocent people.

Linux (Hacking Exposed)

Description
"Throw up a Linux box," comes the chorus whenever there's a need to provide some network service or other without impinging upon the boss's martini budget. Fair enough, but by doing so are you opening security holes you don't know how to find or fix? The newest edition of Hacking Linux Exposed helps you answer that question and solve many of the security problems you find. To a certain extent this book is a recipe collection in that it describes weaknesses in Linux (calling attention to specific distributions where appropriate).

The authors stop short of explicitly showing you how to wage most kinds of attacks, a reasonable thing to do from an ethical point of view even though the instructions can be found easily on the Internet. Rather than do that, they give step-by-step instructions on how to defend against the attacks they catalog. The point is not, "Here's precisely how to bring down a server by means of an ACK storm," but rather, "Here's how to defend against such problems." They do demonstrate plenty of weaknesses, though, as in their coverage of the conversation that goes back and forth between an FTP server and its client.

This book covers pretty much everything you'd want to do with a Linux machine as a network server. Read it and see some of the weaknesses in your system--and do something about them before someone else does. --David Wall

Topics covered: Security best practices, approached from the perspective of what can go wrong and what can be done about the problems. Specific coverage goes to all major services, including user management, FTP, HTTP, and firewalling.

Google Hacking for Penetration Testers

Description
Google Hacking for Penetration Testers explores the explosive growth of a technique known as "Google Hacking." This simple tool can be bent by hackers and those with malicious intents to find hidden information, break into sites, and access supposedly secure information. Borrowing the techniques pioneered by malicious "Google hackers," this book aims to show security practitioners how to properly protect clients from this often overlooked and dangerous form of information leakage.

The sophistication and functionality of Google searches has resulted in several publications boasting Google's superiority to other search engines, providing tips, tricks and even hacks for novice, intermediate, and advanced Internet users. However few of these publications even mention security, and none are written with the IT professional's security tasks in mind. This book not only explores the more obscure and compound features of Google, but it educates the reader how to protect himself against the hacking muscle that this supreme search engine has become.

Google.com domain continues to distance itself from the competition and has reached an all-time high in U.S. search referral market share. As of March 23, 2004, Google.com posted a U.S.search referral percentage of nearly 41 percent. Second place competitor and former leading search referral domain, Yahoo.com, posted a referral percentage of 27.40 percent. Google's market dominance is due in large part to the detail, sophistication, and accuracy of the results it provides. These same factors that make Google so useful to the everyday Web surfer are the same ones that make it so dangerous in the hands of a malicious hacker.
