Book Reviews of Improving Web Application Security: Threats and Countermeasures
Book Review: If you only get one book on .NET web security, get this one!
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer with reasonable experience of .NET web development, but little or no understanding of how to secure the applications that I write. But not any more. This book is excellent! It covers securing .NET web applications under the 1.0 and especially the 1.1 .NET framework. It does NOT teach the basic .NET technologies, ie: how to create a web program, but it explains in good detail (without going overboard) how the security mechanisms of .NET work, and how best to secure a .NET web application. It's a big book, with chapters covering topics like code access security and how to configure a web app for medium trust, how to secure web services and Remoting servers, and how to harden IIS, Windows 2000 and SQL Server, and loads more!
Before you consider buying any other .NET security book, get this one. It's worth every penny. It also has a companion volume, entitled "Building Secure ASP.NET Applications. Authentication, Authorization, and Secure Communication". Unfortunately, this book is not half as good as "Improving Web Application Security". Shame really. The books are supposed to complement each other, but "Improving Web Application Security" really stands out head and shoulders above the other. It's a must buy if you want to understand .NET web application security and the security architecture that underpins it.
Summary of Improving Web Application Security: Threats and Countermeasures
The authoritative guide to implementing fundamental security principles in .NET applications.
