Web Application Security [Early Release]

While many resources for network and IT security are available, detailed knowledge regarding modern web application security has been lacking—until now. This practical guide provides both defensive and offensive security concepts that software engineers can easily learn and apply.
Andrew Hoffman, a product security lead at Salesforce.com, introduces three pillars of web application security: recon, offense, and defense. You’ll learn methods for effectively researching and analyzing modern web applications—including those you don’t have direct access to. You’ll also learn how to apply countermeasures to your own applications in order to prevent or mitigate risk from hackers.
