Cross
Site Scripting Attacks starts by defining the terms and laying out the
ground work. It assumes that the reader is familiar with basic web
program-ming (HTML) and JavaScript. First it discusses the concepts,
methodology, and technology that makes XSS a valid concern. It then
moves into the various types of XSS attacks, how they are implemented,
used, and abused.
After XSS is thoroughly explored, the next
part provides examples of XSS malware and demonstrates real cases where
XSS is a dange-rous risk that exposes internet users to remote access,
sensitive data theft, and monetary losses. Finally, the book closes by
examining the ways developers can avoid XSS vulnerabilities in their
web applications, and how users can avoid becoming a victim. The
audience is web developers, security practitioners, and managers.
