Book Description
This book is a practical guide to discovering and exploiting security flaws in web applications. The authors explain each category of vulnerability using real-world examples, screen shots and code extracts. The book is extremely practical in focus, and describes in detail the steps involved in detecting and exploiting each kind of security weakness found within a variety of applications such as online banking, e-commerce and other web applications.
The topics covered include bypassing login mechanisms, injecting code, exploiting logic flaws and compromising other users. Because every web application is different, attacking them entails bringing to bear various general principles, techniques and experience in an imaginative way. The most successful hackers go beyond this, and find ways to automate their bespoke attacks. This handbook describes a proven methodology that combines the virtues of human intelligence and computerized brute force, often with devastating results.
The authors are professional penetration testers who have been involved in web application security for nearly a decade. They have presented training courses at the Black Hat security conferences throughout the world. Under the alias "PortSwigger", Dafydd developed the popular Burp Suite of web application hack tools.
Book Description
Keep black-hat hackers at bay with the tips and techniques in this entertaining, eye-opening book! Developers will learn how to padlock their applications throughout the entire development process - from designing secure applications to writing robust code
From the Publisher
No more malicious attacks! Learn the best practices for writing secure code, with samples in Microsoft Visual Basic®.NET, Visual C++®, Perl, and Visual C#®
very professional developer should read this book, period!
This book provides a great overview of what techniques are important when writing secure applications, and what pitfalls to avoid. The book does a good job at making a point through examples and by explaining possible exploits.
This book tries to cover a lot of ground. Most of the things discussed are for C++ developers. However, most of the things discussed are of general interest no matter what language one develops with.
I found myself wishing that the book covered a bit more about my development environment of choice: Visual Studio .NET. As mentioned above, I found all the content very interesting and applicable,
but I think it would be good to have more than one chapter covering .NET specifically. I do realize however, that this book was first written before .NET. Perhaps someone will dedicate a book completely to .NET ("Writing Secure .NET Code" anyone?).
This book provides a solid foundation and teaches developers what to look for. However, the book is written for developers and managers alike and does not cover tons of implementation details. I would recommend this book to everyone as a first book to read about secure application development. It is not the last book people should read however. There are a number of good books available for a variety of environments (including .NET) that discuss specific implementations of various security and privacy techniques. Get several of those books as well!
Bottom line: This is a great book. Developers must read it. No "ifs" and "buts". Once you are done with this one though, get other security books and keep on reading...

Review
"...essential reading for professionals in e-commerce and information technology...it is also ideal for students." (IEEE Computer Magazine, March 2007)
Book Description
Gain the skills and knowledge needed to create effective data security systems
This book updates readers with all the tools, techniques, and concepts needed to understand and implement data security systems. It presents a wide range of topics for a thorough understanding of the factors that affect the efficiency of secrecy, authentication, and digital signature schema. Most importantly, readers gain hands-on experience in cryptanalysis and learn how to create effective cryptographic systems.
The author contributed to the design and analysis of the Data Encryption Standard (DES), a widely used symmetric-key encryption algorithm. His recommendations are based on firsthand experience of what does and does not work.
Thorough in its coverage, the book starts with a discussion of the history of cryptography, including a description of the basic encryption systems and many of the cipher systems used in the twentieth century. The author then discusses the theory of symmetric- and public-key cryptography. Readers not only discover what cryptography can do to protect sensitive data, but also learn the practical limitations of the technology. The book ends with two chapters that explore a wide range of cryptography applications.
Three basic types of chapters are featured to facilitate learning:
* Chapters that develop technical skills
* Chapters that describe a cryptosystem and present a method of analysis
* Chapters that describe a cryptosystem, present a method of analysis, and provide problems to test your grasp of the material and your ability to implement practical solutions
With consumers becoming increasingly wary of identity theft and companies struggling to develop safe, secure systems, this book is essential reading for professionals in e-commerce and information technology. Written by a professor who teaches cryptography, it is also ideal for students.

Quote:
A fantastic book for the IS professional interested in learning more about cryptography. This book is one of the better-written books I have read in a long time. The authors keep the content flowing without bogging you down in a lot of high-level mathematical theory or techno garbage. From history to the concepts behind different algorithms, the book presents the pros and cons of many different technologies. My one fear was that it would be nothing more than an advertisement for RSA's products. I couldn't have been more incorrect. I started this book on a two-hour flight, and five chapters into it I actually didn't want to put it down. A great read with lots of information.
Decrypted Secrets: Methods and Maxims of Cryptology
Review
"The best single book on cryptology today." --Cryptologia (from a review of a previous edition)
From the reviews of the fourth edition:
"This comprehensive updated edition is divided into two sections. The first part of the book deals with The People and the second concentrates on The Machinery. This volume includes 191 Figures, 29 Tables and 16 Color Plates, plus an Appendix. Friedrich L. Bauer Professor Emeritus of Mathematics and Computer Science has written an outstanding book on cryptology that belongs in your personal library or as a gift for a friend. There are other fascinating sidelights to this excellent book." (The Cryptogram, Page 15, 2007)
Cryptologia
"It is an outstanding book that assumes only elementary mathematical knowledge and is interspersed with many exciting, amusing, and sometimes personal stories from the history of cryptology."
Quote:
This is an amazing book, and relatively inexpensive; Springer-Verlag has done it again.
Rather than being a dry recitation of encryption and cryptanalysis schemes, Bauer provides a great deal of information about what actually goes wrong when one tries to construct a cipher that must be used under pressure by non-cryptologists, with plenty of historical examples to illustrate his points. And he discusses at some length the ways in which cryptanalysts can hope to unravel ciphers and codes too strong to be broken by standard methods. Much of what he has to say I had never seen in print before; some of it was brand new to me. Perhaps it helps that Bauer is German, and doesn't have to write with the uneasy feeling that NSA or MI-6 is looking over his shoulder at every line he writes. For example, his explanation of how Robert Murphy compromised an American cipher in WW II so badly that the Germans could read it easily is one that I think some American officials would probably still prefer not to have in print.
Despite comments by other reviewers and by Cryptologia, I think it requires a certain mathematical sophistication to absorb much of the material in this book. The math is not hard, but Bauer implicitly assumes a mathematical mindset and a familiarity with the terminology of pure mathematics that most college undergraduates don't have. So I wouldn't choose it as the primary text for a first course in cryptology, but I would certainly use it as a supplementary text. I know of no other book that contains so much material on the practical realities of cryptology.
"It's imperative that everybody working in the field of cyber-security read this book to understand the growing threat of rootkits."
--Mark Russinovich, editor, Windows IT Pro / Windows & .NET Magazine
"This material is not only up-to-date, it defines up-to-date. It is truly cutting-edge. As the only book on the subject, Rootkits will be of interest to any Windows security researcher or security programmer. It's detailed, well researched and the technical information is excellent. The level of technical detail, research, and time invested in developing relevant examples is impressive. In one word: Outstanding."
--Tony Bautts, Security Consultant; CEO, Xtivix, Inc.
"This book is an essential read for anyone responsible for Windows security. Security professionals, Windows system administrators, and programmers in general will want to understand the techniques used by rootkit authors. At a time when many IT and security professionals are still worrying about the latest e-mail virus or how to get all of this month's security patches installed, Mr. Hoglund and Mr. Butler open your eyes to some of the most stealthy and significant threats to the Windows operating system. Only by understanding these offensive techniques can you properly defend the networks and systems for which you are responsible."
--Jennifer Kolde, Security Consultant, Author, and Instructor
"What's worse than being owned? Not knowing it. Find out what it means to be owned by reading Hoglund and Butler's first-of-a-kind book on rootkits. At the apex the malicious hacker toolset--which includes decompilers, disassemblers, fault-injection engines, kernel debuggers, payload collections, coverage tools, and flow analysis tools--is the rootkit. Beginning where Exploiting Software left off, this book shows how attackers hide in plain sight.
"Rootkits are extremely powerful and are the next wave of attack technology. Like other types of malicious code, rootkits thrive on stealthiness. They hide away from standard system observers, employing hooks, trampolines, and patches to get their work done. Sophisticated rootkits run in such a way that other programs that usually monitor machine behavior can't easily detect them. A rootkit thus provides insider access only to people who know that it is running and available to accept commands. Kernel rootkits can hide files and running processes to provide a backdoor into the target machine.
"Understanding the ultimate attacker's tool provides an important motivator for those of us trying to defend systems. No authors are better suited to give you a detailed hands-on understanding of rootkits than Hoglund and Butler. Better to own this book than to be owned."
--Gary McGraw, Ph.D., CTO, Cigital, coauthor of Exploiting Software (2004) and Building Secure Software (2002), both from Addison-Wesley
"Greg and Jamie are unquestionably the go-to experts when it comes to subverting the Windows API and creating rootkits. These two masters come together to pierce the veil of mystery surrounding rootkits, bringing this information out of the shadows. Anyone even remotely interested in security for Windows systems, including forensic analysis, should include this book very high on their must-read list."
--Harlan Carvey, author of Windows Forensics and Incident Recovery (Addison-Wesley, 2005)
Rootkits are the ultimate backdoor, giving hackers ongoing and virtually undetectable access to the systems they exploit. Now, two of the world's leading experts have written the first comprehensive guide to rootkits: what they are, how they work, how to build them, and how to detect them. Rootkit.com's Greg Hoglund and James Butler created and teach Black Hat's legendary course in rootkits. In this book, they reveal never-before-told offensive aspects of rootkit technology--learn how attackers can get in and stay in for years, without detection.
Hoglund and Butler show exactly how to subvert the Windows XP and Windows 2000 kernels, teaching concepts that are easily applied to virtually any modern operating system, from Windows Server 2003 to Linux and UNIX. Using extensive downloadable examples, they teach rootkit programming techniques that can be used for a wide range of software, from white hat security tools to operating system drivers and debuggers.
After reading this book, readers will be able to
* Understand the role of rootkits in remote command/control and software eavesdropping
* Build kernel rootkits that can make processes, files, and directories invisible
* Master key rootkit programming techniques, including hooking, runtime patching, and directly manipulating kernel objects
* Work with layered drivers to implement keyboard sniffers and file filters
* Detect rootkits and build host-based intrusion prevention software that resists rootkit attacks
Visit rootkit.com for code and programs from this book. The site also contains enhancements to the book's text, such as up-to-the-minute information on rootkits available nowhere else.

Following in the tradition of its two predecessors, the second edition features a dragon and a knight on its cover, designed by Strange Tonic Productions; for this reason, the series of books is commonly known as the Dragon Books. Different editions in the series are further distinguished by the color of the dragon. This edition is informally known as the purple dragon. Monica S. Lam of Stanford University became the fourth co-author with this edition.
The second edition includes several additional topics that are not covered in the first edition. New topics include
* directed translation
* new data flow analyses
* parallel machines
* JIT compiling
* garbage collection
* new case studies.
Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools [1] is a famous computer science textbook by Alfred V. Aho, Ravi Sethi, and Jeffrey D. Ullman about compiler construction. Although decades have passed since the publication of the first edition, it is widely regarded as the classic definitive compiler technology text.
It is known as the Dragon Book because its covers depict a knight and a dragon in battle. The first edition is informally called the “red dragon book” to distinguish it from the second edition and from Aho & Ullman’s Principles of Compiler Design (1977, sometimes known as the “green dragon book” because the dragon on its cover is green).
A new edition of the book was published in August 2006.
Topics covered in the first edition include:
* Compiler structure
* Lexical analysis (including regular expressions and finite automata)
* Syntax analysis (including context-free grammars, LL parsers, bottom-up parsers, and LR parsers)
* Syntax directed translation
* Type checking (including type conversions and polymorphism)
* Run-time environment (including parameter passing, symbol tables, and storage allocation)
* Code generation (including intermediate code generation)
* Code optimization

Groundbreaking Patterns for Building Simpler, More Powerful Networks
In Patterns in Network Architecture, pioneer John Day takes a unique
approach to solving the problem of network architecture. Piercing the
fog of history, he bridges the gap between our experience from the
original ARPANET and today's Internet to a new perspective on
networking. Along the way, he shows how socioeconomic forces derailed
progress and led to the current crisis.
Beginning with the seven fundamental, and still unanswered, questions
identified during the ARPANET's development, Patterns in Network
Architecture returns to bedrock and traces our experience both good and
bad. Along the way, he uncovers overlooked patterns in protocols that
simplify design and implementation and resolves the classic conflict
between connection and connectionless while retaining the best of both.
He finds deep new insights into the core challenges of naming and
addressing, along with results from upper-layer architecture. All of
this in Day's deft hands comes together in a tour de force of elegance
and simplicity with the annoying turn of events that the answer has been
staring us in the face: Operating systems tell us even more about
networking than we thought. The result is, in essence, the first
“unified theory of networking,” and leads to a simpler, more
powerful-and above all-more scalable network infrastructure. The book
then lays the groundwork for how to exploit the result in the design,
development, and management as we move beyond the limitations of the
Internet.
Using this new model, Day shows how many complex mechanisms in the
Internet today (multihoming, mobility, and multicast) are, with this
collapse in complexity, now simply a consequence of the structure. The
problems of router table growth of such concern today disappear. The
inescapable conclusion is that the Internet is an unfinished demo, more
in the tradition of DOS than Unix, that has been living on Moore's Law
and 30 years of band-aids. It is long past time to get networking back
on track.
- Patterns in network protocols that synthesize
“contradictory” approaches and simplify design and implementation
- “Deriving” that networking is interprocess communication
(IPC) yielding
- A distributed IPC model that repeats with different scope
and range of operation
- Making network addresses topological makes routing purely a
local matter
- That in fact, private addresses are the norm-not the
exception-with the consequence that the global public addresses required
today are unnecessary
- That mobility is dynamic multihoming and unicast is a subset
of multicast, but multicast devolves into unicast and facilitates
mobility
- That the Internet today is more like DOS, but what we need
should be more like Unix
- For networking researchers, architects, designers, engineers
Provocative, elegant, and profound, Patterns in Network Architecture
transforms the way you envision, architect, and implement networks.

The Insider's Best-Practice Guide to Rapid PyQt 4 GUI Development
Whether you're building GUI prototypes or full-fledged cross-platform
GUI applications with native look-and-feel, PyQt 4 is your fastest,
easiest, most powerful solution. Qt expert Mark Summerfield has written
the definitive best-practice guide to PyQt 4 development. With Rapid GUI
Programming with Python and Qt you'll learn how to build efficient GUI
applications that run on all major operating systems, including Windows,
Mac OS X, Linux, and many versions of Unix, using the same source code
for all of them. Summerfield systematically introduces every core GUI
development technique: from dialogs and windows to data handling; from
events to printing; and more. Through the book's realistic examples
you'll discover a completely new PyQt 4-based programming approach, as
well as coverage of many new topics, from PyQt 4's rich text engine to
advanced model/view and graphics/view programming. Every key concept is
illuminated with realistic, downloadable examples—all tested on Windows,
Mac OS X, and Linux with Python 2.5, Qt 4.2, and PyQt 4.2, and on
Windows and Linux with Qt 4.3 and PyQt 4.3. Coverge includes:
- Python basics for every PyQt developer: data types, data structures,
control structures, classes, modules, and more

Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) was conceived in 1996 as a signaling
protocol for inviting users to multimedia conferences. With this
development, the next big Internet revolution silently started. That was
the revolution which would end up converting the Internet into a total
communication system which would allow people to talk to each other, see
each other, work collaboratively or send messages in real time. Internet
telephony and, in general, Internet multimedia, is the new revolution
today and SIP is the key protocol which allows this revolution to grow.
The book explains, in tutorial fashion, the underlying technologies that
enable real-time IP multimedia communication services in the Internet
(voice, video, presence, instant messaging, online picture sharing,
white-boarding, etc). Focus is on session initiation protocol (SIP) but
also covers session description protocol (SDP), Real-time transport
protocol (RTP), and message session relay protocol (MSRP). In addition,
it will also touch on other application-related protocols and refer to
the latest research work in IETF and 3GPP about these topics. (3GPP
stands for "third-generation partnership project" which is a
collaboration agreement between ETSI (Europe), ARIB/TTC (Japan), CCSA
(China), ATIS (North America) and TTA (South Korea).) The book includes
discussion of leading edge theory (which is key to really understanding
the technology) accompanied by Java examples that illustrate the
theoretical concepts. Throughout the book, in addition to the code
snippets, the reader is guided to build a simple but functional IP
soft-phone therefore demonstrating the theory with practical examples.
This book covers IP multimedia from both a theoretical and practical
point of view focusing on letting the reader understand the concepts and
put them into practice using Java. It includes lots of drawings,
protocol diagrams, UML sequence diagrams and code snippets that allow
the reader to rapidly understand the concepts. KEY FEATURES
* Focus on HOW multimedia communications over the Internet works to
allow readers to really understand and implement the technology
* Explains how SIP works, including many programming examples so the
reader can understand abstract concepts like SIP dialogs, SIP
transactions, etc.
* It is not focused on just VoIP. It looks At a wide array of enhanced
communication services related to SIP enabling the reader put this
technology into practice.
* Includes nearly 100 references to the latest standards and working
group activities in the IETF, bringing the reader completely up to date.
* Provides a step-by-step tutorial on how to build a basic, though
functional, IP soft-phone allowing the reader to put concepts into
practice.
* For advanced readers, the book also explains how to build a SIP proxy
and a SIP registrar to enhance one's expertise and marketability in this
fast moving area.

A "fuzzer" is a program that attempts to discover security
vulnerabilities by sending random data to an application. If that
application crashes, then it has deffects to correct. Security
professionals and web developers can use fuzzing for software
testing--checking their own programs for problems--before hackers do it!
Open Source Fuzzing Tools is the first book to market that covers the
subject of black box testing using fuzzing techniques. Fuzzing has been
around fow a while, but is making a transition from hacker home-grown
tool to commercial-grade quality assurance product. Using fuzzing,
developers can find and eliminate buffer overflows and other software
vulnerabilities during the development process and before release.
* Fuzzing is a fast-growing field with increasing commercial interest (7
vendors unveiled fuzzing products last year).
* Vendors today are looking for solutions to the ever increasing threat
of vulnerabilities. Fuzzing looks for these vulnerabilities
automatically, before they are known, and eliminates them before
release.
* Software developers face an incresing demand to produce secure
applications---and they are looking for any information to help them do
that.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (officially titled the Public Company Accounting
Reform and Investor Protection Act of 2002), signed into law on 30 July
2002 by President Bush, is considered the most significant change to
federal securities laws in the United States since the New Deal. It came
in the wake of a series of corporate financial scandals, including those
affecting Enron, Arthur Andersen, and WorldCom. The law is named after
Senator Paul Sarbanes and Representative Michael G. Oxley. It was
approved by the House by a vote of 423-3 and by the Senate 99-0. This
book illustrates the many Open Source cost-saving opportunities that
public companies can explore in their IT enterprise to meet mandatory
compliance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley act. This book will also
demonstrate by example and technical reference both the infrastructure
components for Open Source that can be made compliant, and the Open
Source tools that can aid in the journey of compliance. Although many
books and reference material have been authored on the financial and
business side of Sox compliance, very little material is available that
directly address the information technology considerations, even less so
on how Open Source fits into that discussion. The format of the book
will begin each chapter with the IT business and executive
considerations of Open Source and SOX compliance. The remaining chapter
verbiage will include specific examinations of Open Source applications
and tools which relate to the given subject matter, and last a bootable
?live?
* Only book that shows companies how to use Open Source tools to achieve
SOX compliance, which dramatically lowers the cost of using proprietary,
commercial applications.
* Only SOX book with a bootable-Linux CD containing countless
applications, forms, and checklists to assist companies in achieving SOX
compliance.
* Only SOX compliance book specifically detailing steps to achieve SOX
compliance for IT Professionals.
