How can an information security professional keep up with all of the hacks, attacks, and exploits on the Web? One way is to read Hacking Web Apps. The content for this book has been selected by author Mike Shema to make sure that we are covering the most vicious attacks out there. Not only does Mike let you in on the anatomy of these attacks, but he also tells you how to get rid of these worms, trojans, and botnets and how to defend against them in the future. Countermeasures are detailed so that you can fight against similar attacks as they evolve.
Attacks featured in this book include:
• SQL Injection
• Cross Site Scripting
• Logic Attacks
• Server Misconfigurations
• Predictable Pages
• Web of Distrust
• Breaking Authentication Schemes
• HTML5 Security Breaches
• Attacks on Mobile Apps
Even if you don’t develop web sites or write HTML, Hacking Web Apps can still help you learn how sites are attacked—as well as the best way to defend against these attacks. Plus, Hacking Web Apps gives you detailed steps to make the web browser – sometimes your last line of defense – more secure.
- More and more data, from finances to photos, is moving into web applications. How much can you trust that data to be accessible from a web browser anywhere and safe at the same time?
- Some of the most damaging hacks to a web site can be executed with nothing more than a web browser and a little knowledge of HTML.
- Learn about the most common threats and how to stop them, including HTML Injection, XSS, Cross Site Request Forgery, SQL Injection, Breaking Authentication Schemes, Logic Attacks, Web of Distrust, Browser Hacks and many more.

Free Hacking Web Apps: Detecting and Preventing Web Application Security Problems
As far as I can tell, this is a repackaged (and much more expensive) version of the author's
"Seven Deadliest Web Application Attacks", released in 2010. The only difference that I can see at a glance is that a 22 page section on HTML 5 has been added. Perhaps some content has been updated, I don't know, but it mostly seems like just the order and names of some chapters has been changed.
That being said, I did find "Seven Deadliest Web Application Attacks" to be a valuable read for those interested in web software security.

This books is a great reference work that covers - in good detail - concepts and techniques in hacking web applications. I found this somewhat lacking in bootstrapping me into practical application. I bought this book with the intent that it'd get me into basic XSS and SQL injection attacks, but there isn't much to "practice" per se.
As a caveat, I'm not sure this within the scope of this text, and it is a very good primer on the various attack vectors and types. Make no mistake, I've read this book and used it to give me a leg up into the vocabulary of web application security, but I found other texts more useful as "how to" texts.
