This book is a complete reference to IIS7.0---both for developers and
administrators. In addition to covering the common administrative tasks,
this book will take an in depth look at IIS7.0 extensibility and
operations management. This information will be pulled from people
running major intranets and web hosting facilities. The book will
differentiate itself from other IIS 7.0 books by showing how to:
- Automate administrative tasks.
- Monitor and manage an IIS environment, including MOF (Microsoft
Operations Framework) and MOM (Microsoft Operations Manager). This
information would be useful to systems administrators after they have
deployed an IIS solution, by ensuring they are able to stabilize and
monitor the environment.
- Debug and troubleshoot IIS. Few people (outside PSS and so forth)
have the necessary information on available tools and how to use them
effectively.
- Secure the IIS environment--including coverage of authentication
protocols, PKI/SSL etc. Most books merely remark that a particular
protocol is "secure" (or not secure) without detailing how these
protocols work, what their strengths are, and how they can be subverted.
- Extend IIS7.0 through the use of ISAPI filters and HTTPModules.
- Master advanced topics (such as Network Load Balancing/High
Availability) that are not covered by other books. Our author team has
experience in large scale IIS hosting that few others do.

The Hands-On, Practical Guide to Preventing Ajax-Related Security
Vulnerabilities

More and more Web sites are being rewritten as Ajax applications; even
traditional desktop software is rapidly moving to the Web via Ajax. But,
all too often, this transition is being made with reckless disregard for
security. If Ajax applications aren't designed and coded properly, they
can be susceptible to far more dangerous security vulnerabilities than
conventional Web or desktop software. Ajax developers desperately need
guidance on securing their applications: knowledge that's been virtually
impossible to find, until now.
Ajax Security systematically debunks today's most dangerous
myths about Ajax security, illustrating key points with detailed case
studies of actual exploited Ajax vulnerabilities, ranging from MySpace's
Samy worm to MacWorld's conference code validator. Even more important,
it delivers specific, up-to-the-minute recommendations for securing Ajax
applications in each major Web programming language and environment,
including .NET, Java, PHP, and even Ruby on Rails. You'll learn how to:

? Mitigate unique risks associated with Ajax, including overly
granular Web services, application control flow tampering, and
manipulation of program logic
? Write new Ajax code more safely�and identify and fix flaws in
existing code
? Prevent emerging Ajax-specific attacks, including JavaScript
hijacking and persistent storage theft
? Avoid attacks based on XSS and SQL Injection�including a
dangerous SQL Injection variant that can extract an entire backend
database with just two requests
? Leverage security built into Ajax frameworks like Prototype,
Dojo, and ASP.NET AJAX Extensions�and recognize what you still must
implement on your own
? Create more secure �mashup?applications

Ajax Security will be an indispensable resource for developers coding or
maintaining Ajax applications; architects and development managers
planning or designing new Ajax software, and all software security
professionals, from QA specialists to penetration testers.

And released on: 03/11/2008


In this book, authors Rich Shupe and Zevan Rosser share the knowledge
they've gained from their years as multimedia developers/designers and
teachers. Learning ActionScript 3.0 gives you a solid foundation in the
language of Flash and demonstrates how you can use it for practical,
everyday projects. The authors do more than just give you a collection
of sample scripts. Written for those of you new to ActionScript 3.0, the
book describes how ActionScript and Flash work, giving you a clear look
into essential topics such as logic, event handling, displaying content,
migrating legacy projects to ActionScript 3.0, classes, and much more.
You will learn important techniques through hands-on exercises, and then
build on those skills as chapters progress. ActionScript 3.0 represents
a significant change for many Flash users, and a steeper learning curve
for the uninitiated. This book will help guide you through a variety of
scripting scenarios. Rather than relying heavily on prior knowledge of
object-oriented programming (OOP), topics are explained in focused
examples that originate in the timeline, with optional companion classes
for those already comfortable with their use. As chapters progress, the
book introduces more and more OOP techniques, allowing you to choose
which scripting approach you prefer. Learning ActionScript 3.0 reveals:
New ways to harness the power and performance of AS3 Common mistakes
that people make with the language Essential coverage of text, sound,
video, XML, drawing with code, and more Migration issues from AS1 and
AS2 to AS3 Simultaneous development of procedural and object-oriented
techniques Tips that go beyond simple script collections, including how
toapproach a project and which resources can help you along the way The
companion web site contains material for all the exercises in the book,
as well as short quizzes to make sure you're up to speed with key
concepts. ActionScript 3.0 is a different animal from previous versions,
and Learning ActionScript 3.0 teaches everything that web designers,
GUI-based Flash developers, and those new to ActionScript need to start
using the language.

developers, and managers, Oracle Essentials provides an invaluable,
all-in-one introduction to the full range of Oracle features and
technologies, including the just-released Oracle Database 11g features.
But even if you already have a library full of Oracle documentation,
you'll find that this compact book is the one you turn to, again and
again, as your one-stop, truly essential reference. "Oracle Essentials
gives a clear explanation of the key database concepts and architecture
underlying the Oracle database. It's a great reference for anyone doing
development or management of Oracle databases." --Andrew Mendelsohn,
Senior Vice President, Database Server Technologies, Oracle Corporation

Hacking The Art of Exploitation 2nd Edition

Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition (c) by No Starch Press

The type of the release is: eBook
In the CHM format with ISBN: 1593271441 and Pub Date: February 04, 2008
The size of the release is: 02 disks x 2.88mb
And released on: 03/29/2008


Hacking is the art of creative problem solving, whether that means
finding an unconventional solution to a difficult problem or exploiting
holes in sloppy programming. Many people call themselves hackers, but
few have the strong technical foundation needed to really push the
envelope. Rather than merely showing how to run existing exploits,
author Jon Erickson explains how arcane hacking techniques actually
work. To share the art and science of hacking in a way that is
accessible to everyone, Hacking: The Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition
introduces the fundamentals of C programming from a hacker's
perspective. Get your hands dirty debugging code, overflowing buffers,
hijacking network communications, bypassing protections, exploiting
cryptographic weaknesses, and perhaps even inventing new exploits. This
book will teach you how to:
- Program computers using C, assembly language, and shell scripts
- Corrupt system memory to run arbitrary code using buffer overflows
and format strings
- Inspect processor registers and system memory with a debugger to
gain a real understanding of what is happening
- Outsmart common security measures like nonexecutable stacks and
intrusion detection systems
- Gain access to a remote server using port-binding or connect-back
shellcode, and alter a server's logging behavior to hide your presence
- Redirect network traffic, conceal open ports, and hijack TCP
connections
- Crack encrypted wireless traffic using the FMS attack, and speed up
brute-force attacks using a password probability matrix Hackers are
always pushing the boundaries, investigating the unknown, and evolving
their art. Even if you don't already know how to program, Hacking: The
Art of Exploitation, 2nd Edition will give you a complete picture of
programming, machine architecture, network communications, and existing
hacking techniques. Combine this knowledge with the included Linux
environment, and all you need is your own creativity.

Morgan Kaufmann Bluetooth Application Programming with the Java APIs Essentials

Bluetooth Application Programming with the Java APIs Essentials Edition
(c) by Morgan Kaufmann

The type of the release is: eBook
In the PDF format with ISBN: 0123743427 and Pub Date: February 15, 2008
The size of the release is: 02 disks x 1.44mb
And released on: 03/26/2008

Adoption of Bluetooth wireless technology has become ubiquitous in the
last few years. One of the biggest steps forward is the standardization
of Java APIs for Bluetooth wireless technology (JABWT). The latest
updates to this standard is explained in detail in this book. The JABWT
standard, defined by the JSR-82 Java Specification Request, supports
rapid development of Bluetooth applications that are portable, secure,
and highly-usable. Wireless device manufacturers have responded
overwhelmingly to the JABWT specification by implementing JABWT
applications in mobile phones and other personal wireless communications
products.

"Bluetooth Application Programming Essentials: Programming with the Java
APIs" explains in detail how to write Bluetooth applications using the
Java APIs to exploit the power of both technologies. Written by the
specification lead for JSR-82 and two other key participants in
developing the standards of JABWT, this book provides the authoritative
explanations and concrete examples needed to get started right away.
This book provides embedded Java developers with to-the-point
information on the APIs in the specification with detailed programmatic
examples of the APIs in use. A NEW chapter on the Push Registry
definition (a new feature in the 1.1 version of JSR-82) has been added.
Finally, the new Essentials version of the book will update the
remaining chapters to reflect changes in the latest Bluetooth spec (2.1)
and the industry as a whole. As a bonus, this edition of the book offers
over 200 pages of added content on the website. This "bonus material"
includes complete source code from examples in the book, the
javex.bluetooth code package, the java.obex code package, an enhanced
set of "Example Applications", and a tutorial on "Implementing JABWT on
a Device." These code-heavy sections are actually more effective in
electonic format where the application can be easily downloaded. KEY
FEATURES & BENEFITS

* By focusing only on the essentials, this concise resource enables
software and hardware vendors to quickly develop Bluetooth applications
for mobile devices in an increasingly competitive market.

* The updated material examines crucial programming areas (including
RFCOMM, OBEX, device discovery, service discovery, and L2CAP), which
allows developers to not only successfully design, but master and build
Java APIs for Bluetooth Wireless Technology.

* Includes a new and valuable chapter that delineates the pivotal Push
Registry feature ? a recent development that will help programmers avoid
the common problem of connection collision.

* By providing real-world issues and problems involved in implementing
the Java APIs specification, the book allows developers to identify with
the text and encourages repeated reference.

iPhone Open Application Development



iPhone Open Application Development: Write Native Objective-C
Applications for the iPhone (c) by O'Reilly Media, Inc.

The type of the release is: eBook
In the CHM format with ISBN: 0596518552 and Pub Date: March 10, 2008
The size of the release is: 01 disks x 1.44mb

Certain technologies bring out everyone's hidden geek, and iPhone did
the moment it was released. Even though Apple created iPhone as a closed
device, tens of thousands of developers bought them with the expressed
purpose of designing and running third-party software. In this clear and
concise book, veteran hacker Jonathan Zdziarski -- one of the original
hackers of the iPhone -- explains the iPhone's native environment and
how you can build software for this device using its Objective-C, C, and
C++ development frameworks. iPhone Open Application Development walks
you through the iPhone's proprietary development environment, offers an
overview of the Objective-C language you'll use with it, and supplies
background for the iPhone operating system. You also get detailed
recipes and working examples for everyone's favorite iPhone features --
graphics and audio programming, interfaces for adding multitouch
functionality to games, the use of hardware sensors, and the device's
vast user interface kit. This book explains: How to access the iPhone's
underlying operating system The makeup of an iPhone application How to
get the open source tool chain running on your desktop The iPhone's core
user interface framework, which is heavily tied to major
application-level functions Using the many touted iPhone features such
as multitouch, hardware sensors, and gestures Intercepting and handling
event notifications for many iPhone-related events Raw video surfaces
and 3D transformations that take you deeper into advanced graphics on
the iPhone How to record and play simple sounds and intercept sound
events Advanced digital audio output using Apple's new Audio Toolbox
framework Advanced user interfacecomponents such as section lists,
keyboards, and image manipulation The Appendix includes a compendium of
miscellaneous code examples for cool application features, such as using
the camera and creating a CoverFlow(R)-like album browser. This book is
a true hacker's book, designed for the millions of users who have run
third party applications on their iPhone, but its concepts and code
examples have shown to be remarkably similar to Apple's official SDK,
making this book a valuable resource for both camps. Any programmer can
use this book to write applications with the same spectacular effects
that made the device an immediate hit, and impress users just as much as
the official iPhone software does. That programmer can easily be you.

Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX



Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX (c) by Apress

The type of the release is: eBook

And released on: 03/29/2008

Since the emergence of Google Maps 12 months ago, Ajax programming
techniques have become one of the hottest topics in the programming
arena. To date, the frameworks available for creating these applications
have been complex and have separated the development of the client�side
Ajax (on the user�s machine) from the server�side supporting technology
(on the company�s machines). This separation has made development slow
and difficult. ASP.NET AJAX is Microsoft�s solution to this problem.
ASP.NET AJAX (formerly code�named Atlas) is a set of extensions to the
existing ASP.NET 2.0 technology that provides you with a fast-and-simple
environment to create Ajax applications. Microsoft has combined Ajax
with ASP.NET technology and provided a unified set of development tools
within Visual Studio 2005. For the first time, Ajax applications can be
developed seamlessly in conjunction with a supporting technology.
Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX (written by Laurence Moroney the author of
Apress successful Foundations of Atlas) gives you a detailed
grounding in how ASP.NET AJAX works. It takes you swiftly through the
basic principles of Ajax, then deep into the heart of the technology,
where every namespace is discussed and every function considered. By the
end of the book, you�ll know all the essentials to confidently produce
cutting-edge ASP.NET AJAX applications swiftly and professionally. You
will not need any reference beyond this book.

Pro Active Record Databases with Ruby and Rails



Pro Active Record: Databases with Ruby and Rails (c) by Apress

The type of the release is: eBook
In the PDF format with ISBN: 1590598474 and Pub Date: September 10, 2007
The size of the release is: 01 disks x 1.44mb
And released on: 03/27/2008


Pro Active Record helps you take advantage of the full power of your
database engine from within your Ruby programs and Rails applications.
ActiveRecord, part of the magic that makes the Rails framework so
powerful and easy to use, is the model element of Rails
model/view/controller framework. Its an object-relational mapping
library enabling you to interact with databases from both Ruby and Rails
applications. Because ActiveRecord is configured with default
assumptions that mesh perfectly with the Rails framework, Rails
developers often find they hardly need think about it at all. However,
if you are developing in Ruby without Rails, or are deploying against
legacy databases designed without Rails in mind, or you just want to
take advantage of database-specific features such as large objects and
stored procedures, you need the in-depth knowledge of ActiveRecord found
in this book. In Pro Active Record, authors Kevin Marshall, Chad Pytel,
and Jon Yurek walk you through every step from the basics of getting and
installing the ActiveRecord library to working with legacy schema to
using features specific to each of todays most popular database engines,
including Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, and more! You�ll come to a deep
understanding of ActiveRecord that will enable you to truly exploit all
that Ruby, Rails, and your chosen database platform have to offer.

Whether you are inheriting a test team or starting one up,
Manage Software Testing is a must-have resource that covers all aspects
of test management. It guides you through the business and
organizational issues that you are confronted with on a daily basis,
explaining what you need to focus on strategically, tactically, and
operationally. Using a risk-based approach, the author addresses a range
of questions about software product development. The book covers unit,
system, and non-functional tests and includes examples on how to
estimate the number of bugs expected to be found, the time required for
testing, and the date when a release is ready. It weighs the cost of
finding bugs against the risks of missing release dates or letting bugs
appear in the final released product. It is imperative to determine if
bugs do exist and then be able to metric how quickly they can be
identified, the cost they incur, and how many remain in the product when
it is released. With this book,test managers can effectively and
accurately establish these parameters.

Emergent Design: The Evolutionary Nature of Professional Software Development



Emergent Design: The Evolutionary Nature of Professional Software
Development (c) by Addison-Wesley Professional

The type of the release is: eBook
In the PDF&CHM format with ISBN: 0321509366 and Pub Date: March 08, 2008

And released on: 03/29/2008


For software to consistently deliver promised results, software
development must mature into a true profession. Emergent Design points
the way. As software continues to evolve and mature, software
development processes become more complicated, relying on a variety of
methodologies and approaches. This book illuminates the path to building
the next generation of software. Author Scott L. Bain integrates the
best of today�s most important development disciplines into a unified,
streamlined, realistic, and fully actionable approach to developing
software. Drawing on patterns, refactoring, and test-driven development,
Bain offers a blueprint for moving efficiently through the entire
software lifecycle, smoothly managing change, and consistently
delivering systems that are robust, reliable, and cost-effective.

Reflecting a deep understanding of the natural flow of system
development, Emergent Design helps developers work with the flow,
instead of against it. Bain introduces the principles and practices of
emergent design one step at a time, showing how to promote the natural
evolution of software systems over time, making systems work better and
provide greater value. To illuminate his approach, Bain presents code
examples wherever necessary and concludes with a complete project case
study.

This book provides developers, project leads, and testers powerful new
ways to collaborate, achieve immediate goals, and build systems that
improve in quality with each iteration.
