This is the eBook version of the printed book. The Hands-On, Practical Guide to Preventing Ajax-Related Security Vulnerabilities.  . More and more Web sites are being rewritten as Ajax applications; even traditional desktop software is rapidly moving to the Web via Ajax. But, all too often, this transition is being made with reckless disregard for security. If Ajax applications aren’t designed and coded properly, they can be susceptible to far more dangerous security vulnerabilities than conventional Web or desktop software. Ajax developers desperately need guidance on securing their applications: knowledge that’s been virtually impossible to find, until now .             Ajax Security systematically debunks today’s most dangerous myths about Ajax security, illustrating key points with detailed case studies of actual exploited Ajax vulnerabilities, ranging from MySpace’s Samy worm to MacWorld’s conference code validator. Even more important, it delivers specific, up-to-the-minute recommendations for securing Ajax applications in each major Web programming language and environment, including .NET, Java, PHP, and even Ruby on Rails. You’ll learn how to:.  . ·        Mitigate unique risks associated with Ajax, including overly granular Web services, application control flow tampering, and manipulation of program logic. ·        Write new Ajax code more safely—and identify and fix flaws in existing code. ·        Prevent emerging Ajax-specific attacks, including JavaScript hijacking and persistent storage theft. ·        Avoid attacks based on XSS and SQL Injection—including a dangerous SQL Injection variant that can extract an entire backend database with just two requests. ·   more...

The complete guide to today’s hard-to-defend chained attacks: performing them and preventing them.  . Nowadays, it’s rare for malicious hackers to rely on just one exploit or tool; instead, they use “chained” exploits that integrate multiple forms of attack to achieve their goals. Chained exploits are far more complex and far more difficult to defend. Few security or hacking books cover them well and most don’t cover them at all. Now there’s a book that brings together start-to-finish information about today’s most widespread chained exploits–both how to perform them and how to prevent them.  . Chained Exploits demonstrates this advanced hacking attack technique through detailed examples that reflect real-world attack strategies, use today’s most common attack tools, and focus on actual high-value targets, including credit card and healthcare data. Relentlessly thorough and realistic, this book covers the full spectrum of attack avenues, from wireless networks to physical access and social engineering.  . Writing for security, network, and other IT professionals, the authors take you through each attack, one step at a time, and then introduce today’s most effective countermeasures— both technical and human. Coverage includes: Constructing convincing new phishing attacks; Discovering which sites other Web users are visiting; Wreaking havoc on IT security via wireless networks; Disrupting competitors’ Web sites; Performing–and preventing–corporate espionage; Destroying secure files; Gaining access to private healthcare records; Attacking the viewers of social networking pages; Creating entirely new exploits; and more.  .

Andrew was a winner of EC Council’s Instruc more...
