Download or read book The Tangled Web written by Michal Zalewski and published by No Starch Press. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern web applications are built on a tangle of technologies that have been developed over time and then haphazardly pieced together. Every piece of the web application stack, from HTTP requests to browser-side scripts, comes with important yet subtle security consequences. To keep users safe, it is essential for developers to confidently navigate this landscape. In The Tangled Web, Michal Zalewski, one of the world’s top browser security experts, offers a compelling narrative that explains exactly how browsers work and why they’re fundamentally insecure. Rather than dispense simplistic advice on vulnerabilities, Zalewski examines the entire browser security model, revealing weak points and providing crucial information for shoring up web application security. You’ll learn how to: –Perform common but surprisingly complex tasks such as URL parsing and HTML sanitization –Use modern security features like Strict Transport Security, Content Security Policy, and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing –Leverage many variants of the same-origin policy to safely compartmentalize complex web applications and protect user credentials in case of XSS bugs –Build mashups and embed gadgets without getting stung by the tricky frame navigation policy –Embed or host user-supplied content without running into the trap of content sniffing For quick reference, "Security Engineering Cheat Sheets" at the end of each chapter offer ready solutions to problems you’re most likely to encounter. With coverage extending as far as planned HTML5 features, The Tangled Web will help you create secure web applications that stand the test of time.

Join the Random House Reader’s Circle for author chats and more. In boyhood, Louis Zamperini was an incorrigible delinquent. As a teenager, he channeled his defiance into running, discovering a prodigious talent that had carried him to the Berlin Olympics. But when World War II began, the athlete became an airman, embarking on a journey that led to a doomed flight on a May afternoon in 1943. When his Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean, against all odds, Zamperini survived, adrift on a foundering life raft. Ahead of Zamperini lay thousands of miles of open ocean, leaping sharks, thirst and starvation, enemy aircraft, and, beyond, a trial even greater. Driven to the limits of endurance, Zamperini would answer desperation with ingenuity; suffering with hope, resolve, and humor; brutality with rebellion. His fate, whether triumph or tragedy, would be suspended on the fraying wire of his will. Appearing in paperback for the first time—with twenty arresting new photos and an extensive Q&A with the author—Unbroken is an unforgettable testament to the resilience of the human mind, body, and spirit, brought vividly to life by Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand.

Download or read book Sins of Survival written by Roxanne Ward and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-03-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civilization is quickly devolving into corporate factions employing their own armies which civilians called Neighwahs. They rain war on each other without mercy for power, territory, and precious resources. In the aftermath of the plundering, cities are left unprotected and stripped of their supplies. Then ruthless rogue mercenaries called drangers move in and prey on the noncombatants called dailys, struggling to stay alive and fight for scraps. Jillian is a daily clinging to a promise of hope. She is sworn to secrecy about a sanctuary city, but she prays the shadow group with their cryptic messages and military procedures will forgive her for telling her sister. For a chance at happiness and peace, they risk death for knowing too much, or unspeakable abuse at the slave camps. Bannon Vogel lost half of his family to a violent attack. He found himself the owner of a vast shipping and supply empire along with all its dubious secrets and skeletons. With the help of his army of defenders, he pulls in every favor, debt, and opportunity to accumulate supplies for his secret city in the Eisenhower Tunnel. He intends to reestablish a place of civility, but it will cost the residents their freedom and perhaps their souls.
