Seven Deadliest Wireless Technologies Attacks draws attention to the vagaries of Web security by discussing the seven deadliest vulnerabilities exploited by attackers. Each chapter presents examples of different attacks conducted against Web sites. The methodology behind the attack is explored, showing its potential impact. Then, the chapter moves on to address possible countermeasures for different aspects of the attack.
The book consists of seven chapters that cover the following: the most pervasive and easily exploited vulnerabilities in Web sites and Web browsers; Structured Query Language (SQL) injection attacks; mistakes of server administrators that expose the Web site to attack; brute force attacks; and logic attacks. The ways in which malicious software malware has been growing as a threat on the Web are also discussed.
This book is intended for anyone who uses the Web to check e-mail, shop, or work. Web application developers and security professionals will benefit from the technical details and methodology behind the Web attacks covered in this book. Executive level management will benefit from understanding the threats to a Web site, and in many cases, how a simple attack requiring nothing more than a Web browser can severely impact a site.

Altogether, this means approximately 2^70 possible combinations – not a feasible size for brute force enumeration. Further inspection reveals that x (from the URI's pid parameter) is incremental within the user's photo

files or need to track object names in a client-side parameter can alternately use a reference id rather than the actual name. For example, rather than using index.htm, news.htm, and login.htm as parameter values in a URI such as /index.php?page=login.htm, the site could map the files to a numeric value. So, index.htm becomes 1, news.htm becomes 2, login.htm becomes 3, and so on. The new URI uses the numeric reference as in /index.php?page=3 to indicate the login page. An attacker will still try
the user to reenter a password. Warn users of the potential for others to access their account if they use the same browser or require reauthentication if crossing a security boundary such as changing a password or updating profile information. Generate a strong pseudorandom number if the cookie is an identifier (that is, the cookie's value corresponds to a session state record in a storage mechanism). Encrypt the cookie if it is descriptive (that is, the cookie's value contains the user's
replace a correct domain name to IP address mapping with an IP address owned by the attacker. As far as the Web browser is concerned, the IP address is the valid origin of traffic for the domain. Consequently, neither the browser nor the user is aware that malicious content may be served from the IP address. For example, an attacker would redirect a browser's traffic from www.hotmail.com or www.mail.google.com by changing the IP address that the browser associates with those domains.
