Book Review: How to Break Web Software
Kristy Westphal
How to Break Web Software shows you how to do exactly that. It is, in a word, awesome! It is chock full of attacks for which all Web sites should be tested. Each attack description includes a detailed explanation, when to use it, and how to protect your site from the attack. The book is easy read, clear and complete in its explanations. Accompanying the book is a CD full of the tools that are referenced throughout the book, including the "hacme" bank application from Foundstone to practice on. Your biggest dilemma when reading this book will be deciding who else should read it — Your developers? Your QA team? Your security team? The answer is probably all of the above.

Book Review: Intrusion Prevention and Active Response
Kristy Westphal
As a skeptic of Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), I was delighted to review Intrusion Prevention and Active Response and wanted to have my skepticism of deploying this type of technology proven wrong. After reading this well-done depiction of IPS, however, my skepticism has only been confirmed. IPS is a deployable technology, but it has to be done right the first time or you will find yourself in a heap of trouble.

The Tide of FUD
Peter Salus
Alexis de Tocqueville observed that it is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth.
So there's a painful irony when we're forced to recognize the validity of de Tocqueville's remark in a May press release from the head of the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, Ken Brown.
In fact, Brown has agitated me sufficiently to devote time and space to trying to counter the FUD — fear, uncertainty and doubt — that is being propagated.
