Java-Web-Security

Java has a reputation for being a relatively secure programming language. Various language features and internal Java security mechanisms assist developers in creating secure applications. However, they do not help if vulnerabilities are unintentionally introduced during programming, which can be exploited by malicious actors to carry out successful attacks. This is particularly relevant for web applications for intranets or the internet. This book demonstrates how you, as a Java developer, can address many of these well-known shortcomings and programming errors. You will learn about the background of Java-based security mechanisms and gain an overview of helpful tools. Among other things, you will become familiar with the following types of attacks and learn how to keep your Java web applications free from these vulnerabilities: - Injections, including SQL Injection - Cross-Site.
