Its intended audience is not criminals or spies, however, but 'white hat' hackers who attempt to break into their own organization's IT resources with permission and the goal of securing those resources against just these kind of attacks when they are made with hostile intent."--Reference & Research Book News,December 2013".this first work shows the love of an eager first-time author who has an obvious passion about the subject matter..it is a good starting point for someone who has little or no exposure to web attacks.
