Required for those involved w/ software application security
'How to Break Software Security' is a most unique book.

There are a lot of security books.
There are a growing number of books about writing secure code.

But 'How to Break Software Security' is the first on the topic of testing the software after the programmer has supposedly used secure programming techniques.

The problem is that even if a programmer reads all of the required texts on writing secure code, there are still a number of ways that the application can be broken. The book deals with 19 unique attacks that can be mounted against various software applications.

The book describes attacks that can come from all sides. From attacking the software dependencies, implementation, design, to bogus error messages, fake data sources and more.

Anyone involved with software application security testing should definitely read 'How to Break Software Security'.
