Penetration Testing for Web Applications (Part Two)
by Jody Melbourne and David Jorm
Our first article in this series covered user interaction with Web
applications and explored the various methods of HTTP input that are most
commonly utilized by developers. In this second installment we will be
expanding upon issues of input validation - how developers routinely,
through a lack of proper input sanity and validity checking, expose their
back-end systems to server-side code-injection and SQL-injection attacks.
We will also investigate the client-side problems associated with poor
input-validation such as cross-site scripting attacks.

Honeytokens: The Other Honeypot
by Lance Spitzner, www.tracking-hackers.com
The purpose of this series of honeypot papers is to cover the breadth of
honeypot technologies, values and issues. I hope by now readers are
beginning to understand that honeypots are an incredibly powerful and
flexible technology. They have multiple applications to security,
everything from simplified detection to advanced information gathering.
Today we extend the capabilities of honeypots even further by discussing
honeytokens. Honeytokens are everything a honeypot is, except they are not
a computer.
