Web Hacking: Attacks and Defense Review by G. F Robison
Rehash of basic web technologies
I was disappointed in what this book had to offer. I was hoping for a full text of web exploits and how to defend against them. Instead the first half of the book covers information such as languages of the web and how to read URL's. It is as if the author assumes the reader has no knowledge of web technologies and systems. I am finding this to be a common problem with network security books, they are written for readers with little real knowledge of networking, let alone network security. Surly they sell many copies because "hacking" is in the title though.
This is not the book for the serious IT professional, you would do better to look elsewhere for security insights.
