Web Security Testing Cookbook gives developers an inexpensive way to include testing as part of the development cycle. You'll find scores of recipes for testing web applications, from relatively simple solutions to complex ones that combine several solutions. This practical book focuses on how to test web applications -- not what web security consists of or why developers should test. And, rather than IT security, the recipes address application software exclusively -- source code, business logic -- written, operated, and now tested by you. Each recipe in the book states the problem to be solved, the tools and techniques required, technical details involved, and examples. Web Security Testing Cookbook also leverages free tools, and not only because they save you considerable expense. In security, perhaps more than in any other specialized discipline, the best tools tend to be free. The book offers recipes in four different sections to help you: Learn basics concepts to develop tests, and obtain and set up the tools you'll use Automate tools and scripts to test a web application in a systematic way Learn methods to bypass client side input validation for various purposes, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and manipulating hidden form fields Focus on the session by finding identifiers, analyzing how predictable they are, and manipulating them with tools By following the recipes in this book, you can be reasonably sure that your application is not going to be one of the thousands that hackers compromiseevery day. They don't take the place of real penetration testing, but they will make sure your application is not a disaster waiting to happen. Take the time to include security testing in the development cycle. Web Security Testing Cookbook will save you weeks of headaches and tons of money down the road. Who knows? This book might even save your job. AnnotationWeb Security Testing Cookbook gives developers and testers the tools they need to make security testing a regular part of their development lifecycle. You'll find recipes related to manual, exploratory testing as well as recipes for automated security testing that you can make part of your regression cycle. The recipes cover the basics like observing messages between clients and servers, to multi-phase tests that script the login and execution of web application features. This book provides developers the techniques they need to consider security in their unit tests. Testers will find a wealth of techniques for building web security test cases and executing them.
