Hacking the Code: ASP.NET Web Application Security

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.
Customer Review: Definitely a worthy book for developers and security pros alike
Hacking the Code is a must read if you want to pick apart .NET Web applications in the name of better security. More people in development and IT need to read books like this. I like how it focuses on ASP.NET – the language that a large portion of Web applications are developed in today. The book covers the important areas of securing applications and shows some good examples. Appendix A also has some good ASP.NET code samples for real-world concerns.

Customer Review: Good but needs an update
This book gave me a good understanding of the methodology of ASP.NET as well as the concepts behind it. The organization of the book is good for someone new to ASP.NET and C# as it starts simple and proceeds forward in a logical manner to more complex topics.

The exam covers exactly the same topics, that are emphasized in the book.
Customer Review: Helped me pass the exam
This book is very well organized, has good examples, and is based very closely on the exam objectives. I had co-workers who used the Microsoft (red) books and didn’t like them who switched to this one and were much happier. Studying this book and using a Transcender practice test enabled me to pass the 305 exam. Recommended. Buy Now!

An Open-Source and Java-Technologies Approach to Web Applications

This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled and assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A992814. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Web applications have become a critical component of the global information infrastructure. In government organizations, proprietary software is currently being replaced by open-source. This thesis explores using open-source and Java technologies to implement Web applications. A prototype of the Web applications have become a critical component of the global information infrastructure, In government organizations, proprietary software is currently being replaced by open-source. This thesis explores using open-source and Java technologies to implement Web applications. A prototype of the framework was implemented for a military information site. Implementation was straightforward and performance of the prototype was excellent, demonstrating advantages in terms of reliability, portability, maintainability, and economy. Buy Now!
