Hackers are increasingly targeting web applications. They know that many of these applications are written by programmers with little or no expertise in creating secure software - and they know that many web applications are running on insecure platforms. PHP applications may be especially vulnerable: most PHP developers are self-trained, many are only 'semi-professional programmers,' and many of the world's 20 million PHP-based domains are running off-the-shelf applications with known vulnerabilities. PHP programmers desperately need security information they can use. Secure PHPdelivers just that. Web Applications This hands-on book harnesses the authors' 15 years of experience in web development and security auditing to show programmers exactly where their code can go wrong - and how to fix it. It's focused on the most common errors, helping programmers create more secure code without bogging them down in highly technical details they can't or won't use. It contains practical checklists, realistic scenarios, and even essential guidance on what to do after an application is hacked.
