Web Application Defender's Cookbook (ePub)

Defending your web applications against hackers and
attackers

The top-selling book Web Application Hacker's Handbook
showed how attackers and hackers identify and attack vulnerable
live web applications. This new Web Application Defender's
Cookbook is the perfect counterpoint to that book: it shows you
how to defend. Authored by a highly credentialed defensive
security expert, this new book details defensive security methods
and can be used as courseware for training network security
personnel, web server administrators, and security consultants.

Each "recipe" shows you a way to detect and defend against
malicious behavior and provides working code examples for the
ModSecurity web application firewall module. Topics include
identifying vulnerabilities, setting hacker traps, defending
different access points, enforcing application flows, and much
more.

* Provides practical tactics for detecting web attacks and
malicious behavior and defending against them

* Written by a preeminent authority on web application firewall
technology and web application defense tactics

* Offers a series of "recipes" that include working code examples
for the open-source ModSecurity web application firewall
module

Find the tools, techniques, and expert information you need to
detect and respond to web application attacks with Web
Application Defender's Cookbook: Battling Hackers and Protecting
