From the authors of the bestselling Hack Proofing Your Network!
OPEC, Amazon, Yahoo! and E-bay: If these large, well-established and security-conscious web sites have problems, how can anyone be safe? How can any programmer expect to develop web applications that are secure?
Hack Proofing Your Web Applications is the only book specifically written for application developers and webmasters who write programs that are used on web sites. It covers Java applications, XML, ColdFusion, and other database applications. Most hacking books focus on catching the hackers once they've entered the site; this one shows programmers how to design tight code that will deter hackers from the word go.
Comes with up-to-the-minute web based support and a CD-ROM containing source codes and sample testing programs
Unique approach: Unlike most hacking books this one is written for the application developer to help them build less vulnerable programs

Introduction
You are probably familiar with the attacks of February 2000 on eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, as well as other major e-commerce and non–e-commerce Web sites. Those attacks were all Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and all occurred at the server level. Those same attacks moved hacking to center stage in the IT community and in the press. With that spotlight comes an increased awareness by information security specialists, project managers, and other IT professionals. More and more companies are looking to tighten up security. As a result, hackers have become more creative and more talented, raising the bar on security from not only a network administration standpoint, but also from an applications development standpoint.
To go about creating a defense, you must try to approach an understanding of where these attacks could originate, from whom, and why they would target you. You will learn in this book that your systems and applications can be targeted or chosen randomly, so your defense strategy must be as comprehensive as possible and under constant evaluation. If you can test and evaluate your programs by emulating attacks, you will be more capable of finding vulnerab
