The only way to stop a hacker is to think like one!
The World Wide Web Consortium's Extensible Markup Language (XML) is quickly becoming the new standard for data formatting and Internet development. XML is expected to be as important to the future of the Web as HTML has been to the foundation of the Web, and has proven itself to be the most common tool for all data manipulation and data transmission.
Hack Proofing XML provides readers with hands-on instruction for how to secure the Web transmission and access of their XML data. This book will also introduce database administrators, web developers and web masters to ways they can use XML to secure other applications and processes.
The first book to incorporate standards from both the Security Services Markup Language (S2ML) and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) in one comprehensive book
Covers the four primary security objectives: Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication and Non-repudiation
Not only shows readers how to secure their XML data, but describes how to provide enhanced security for a broader range of applications and processes

Introduction
The way (which is also the definition of Tao) of the hacker is the topic of this chapter. We will find the way that the hacker has walked to become one. It is impossible to defend one's work without first appreciating the adversary that attacks that work. We take a journey along the path that evolved a culture still reflected in the current day mischief of some.
To hack is not to crack. Clever does not have to mean destructive. The ability to knock down a door should not mean that you must do so. The true way of the hack is to explore, comprehend, and then leave without disturbing anything behind you. Any other way shows a lack of grace and an inability to restore that which you encountered to its original and untouched state.
To maximize security in code requires that we, as developers, try and achieve an understanding of not just how an attack can be carried out, but why the attack is made in the first place. The object of the attack flows from the motivation of the attacker. Since defense against attack can never be perfect and all pervasive, protecting your code starts with first understanding what the attacker's probable goals are, and then planning and preparing your defenses from there.
