There is a 90 minute Google TechTalk on Google Video about web software vulnerabilities and how to break web software.
It all started out as a place to share physics documents, but has grown into potentially mankind’s largest and most complex creation. The World Wide Web is a lot of things – a soapbox for everyone, a giant shopping mall, an application platform, and unfortunately a hacker’s playground.
As more applications get "web-ified" moving from the desktop or legacy systems onto the web, attackers follow the vulnerabilities. Without sophisticated tools or "1337 5x1llz", web applications are now the most attacked technology, with the majority of attacks categorized as "easily exploitable".
Should be of interest to anyone who develops web applications. I’ve learnt a couple of things from the video.
I don’t remember giving that presentation!
That was actually an interesting presentation. The use of real-life examples was also very interesting and it really did show the extent of the internet’s rapid development. Nice find.
Thats a good video actually, very imformative, and made me think a bit.
I just burst out laughing at that "News 14 Carolina" hack
