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.

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.

While the scenario may be fictitious, the techniques and technologies that Russ uses are drawn straight from the computer security world.

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.

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.
