Syngress Publishing Announces the Release of “Hacking the Code: ASP.NET Web Application Security”

“Hacking the Code: ASP.NET Web Application Security” will arrive in bookstores and at online retailers in May.

Security expert Mark Burnett asks his readers, “Are your web applications really secure?” This unique book walks readers through the many threats to their web application code. For every defined threat, the book provides a menu of solutions and coding considerations. It then offers coding examples and a set of security policies for each of the corresponding threats.

Chris Williams, President of Syngress Publishing, said, “‘Hacking the Code’ focuses on auditing existing code as well writing new code. It is the first book for programmers that really provides specific coding examples on how to integrate secure code with existing .NET security services.”

Chapter topics include: Managing Users, Authenticating and Authorizing Users, Managing Sessions, Encrypting Private Data, Filtering Input, Accessing Data, Building ASP.NET Applications, and Securing XML.
