Hacking Exposed Web 2.0: Web 2.0 Security Secrets and Solutions ReviewI'm still in the middle of the book, and I definitely will skim thru all the remaining pages (just because I paid for it), but I wouldn't recommend the book to anyone looking for serious and in-depth study on web security - the book just doesn't offer that. What it does is a list of possible attack vectors and sometimes offers "solutions" which can help to fight with the attacks. However, the attacks descriptions are shallow, solutions are very short and non-extensive and many of them go as far as telling a user to install NoScript extension for Firefox (huh? Web 2.0 doesn't work with no JavaScript).
There are also quadrillions of links to a security-related site (won't list it here) which offers a toolbar to checks your sites again the most common security problems. I don't have anything against links to useful tools of course, but THAT amount of links just makes this book look like an advertisement of the fore-mentioned site. Am not even talking about page space wasted to re-iterate "go to ...., install ...., click .... in order to test for ....." which usually take 0.5-1 pages. Users who read that sort of books can somehow figure out how to use a toolbar, I believe.
I'm not by any means a security expert, and this book did introduce me into the topic, but it didn't do anything beyond that. I still need to read some other book on the topic, and that book will probably contain the same info as the Hacking Web 2.0 Exposed (i.e. the very basic info on web expoits), so.. I actually just recommend to pass on this book at all, and look for something which covers the topic in greater depth.Hacking Exposed Web 2.0: Web 2.0 Security Secrets and Solutions Overview
