Seven Deadliest Wireless Technologies Attacks draws attention to the vagaries of Web security by discussing the seven deadliest vulnerabilities exploited by attackers. Each chapter presents examples of different attacks conducted against Web sites. The methodology behind the attack is explored, showing its potential impact. Then, the chapter moves on to address possible countermeasures for different aspects of the attack.
The book consists of seven chapters that cover the following: the most pervasive and easily exploited vulnerabilities in Web sites and Web browsers; Structured Query Language (SQL) injection attacks; mistakes of server administrators that expose the Web site to attack; brute force attacks; and logic attacks. The ways in which malicious software malware has been growing as a threat on the Web are also discussed.
This book is intended for anyone who uses the Web to check e-mail, shop, or work. Web application developers and security professionals will benefit from the technical details and methodology behind the Web attacks covered in this book. Executive level management will benefit from understanding the threats to a Web site, and in many cases, how a simple attack requiring nothing more than a Web browser can severely impact a site.
