Show Some Respect to Cross-Site Scripting

James Bond, Mr. Creosote, and Don Corleone are just some of the personas Bryan Sullivan uses for security vulnerabilities.

The Top 10 hacks that will be launched against your code!

Hackers use various techniques leveraging code weaknesses, mis-configurations and web server vulnerabilities to obtain full access and steal your most sensitive information.

Software Security Testing: It's Not Just for Functions Anymore
By Gary McGraw

Security testing comes in two flavors and involves standard functional security testing (making sure that the security apparatus works as advertised), as well as risk-based testing (malicious testing that simulates attacks). Risk-based security testing should be driven by architectural risk analysis, abuse and misuse cases, and attack patterns. Unfortunately, first generation "application security" testing misses the mark on all fronts. That's because canned black-box probes—at best—can show you that things are broken, but say very little about the total security posture. Read Gary McGraw's presentation outline to learn what software security testing should look like, what kinds of knowledge testers must have to carry out such testing, and what the results may say about security.
