Learn how to think like an attacker—and identify potential security issues in your software. In this essential guide, security testing experts offer practical, hands-on guidance and code samples to help you find, classify, and assess security bugs before your software is released.

Discover how to:

• Identify high-risk entry points and create test cases


• Test clients and servers for malicious request/response bugs


• Use black box and white box approaches to help reveal security vulnerabilities


• Uncover spoofing issues, including identity and user interface spoofing


• Detect bugs that can take advantage of your programÂ’s logic, such as SQL injection


• Test for XML, SOAP, and Web services vulnerabilities


• Recognize information disclosure and weak permissions issues


• Identify where attackers can directly manipulate memory


• Test with alternate data representations to uncover canonicalization issues
  Expose COM and ActiveX repurposing attacks
