Web Application Obfuscation: '-/WAFs..Evasion..Filters//alert(/Obfuscation/)-'

by Mario Heiderich, Eduardo Alberto Vela Nava, Gareth Heyes

Web applications are used every day by millions of users, which is why they are one of the most popular vectors for attackers. Obfuscation of code has allowed hackers to take one attack and create hundreds-if not millions-of variants that can evade your security measures. Web Application Obfuscation takes a look at common Web infrastructure and security controls from an attacker's perspective, allowing the reader to understand the shortcomings of their security systems. Find out how an attacker would bypass different types of security controls, how these very security controls introduce new types of vulnerabilities, and how to avoid common pitfalls in order to strengthen your defenses.

Very unique content some concepts were only exposed in this book, nowhere else. However the quality of chapters varies I guess due to different authors. Therefore only 4 stars...
