Hacker Code will have over 400 pages of dedicated exploit, vulnerability, and tool code with corresponding instruction. Unlike other security and programming books that dedicate hundreds of pages to architecture and theory based flaws and exploits, HC1 will dive right into deep code analysis. Previously undisclosed security research in combination with superior programming techniques from Foundstone and other respected organizations will be included in both the Local and Remote Code sections of the book.
The book will be accompanied with a FREE COMPANION CD containing both commented and uncommented versions of the source code examples presented throughout the book. In addition to the book source code, the CD will also contain a copy of the author-developed Hacker Code Library v1.0. The Hacker Code Library will include multiple attack classes and functions that can be utilized to quickly create security programs and scripts. These classes and functions will simplify exploit and vulnerability tool development to an extent never before possible with publicly available software.
* Learn to quickly create security tools that ease the burden of software testing and network administration
* Find out about key security issues regarding vulnerabilities, exploits, programming flaws, and secure code development
* Discover the differences in numerous types of web-based attacks so that developers can create proper quality assurance testing procedures and tools
* Learn to automate quality assurance, management, and development tasks and procedures for testing systems and applications
* Learn to write complex Snort rules based solely upon traffic generated by network tools and exploits

Introduction
Users are generally a large component of Web applications and a focus point for a Web application's security. In fact, much of a Web application's security is intended to protect users and their private information.
Every Web application has different levels of risk and sensitivity. You must assess this risk in your organization to determine how much emphasis you put on user security. How you build your Web application will greatly affect how your users participate in security. Your users may or may not take security as seriously as you want them to, but as a security professional, it is your job to ensure that the data is properly protected.
Consider a magazine's online article archive that is available to authenticated subscribers. The owners want to protect their copyrighted content, so they require users to authenticate to gain access to certain articles. However, readers will not store personal information on the site, and they might not be careful with security, perhaps even sharing their login information with friends to allow them to gain access to protected articles.
Perhaps more often, users are more concerned about security than are the Web site operators. Too many companies do not put a great emphasis on security until after it is too la
