Overview

We were actually enjoying the web as it was, but apparently it was time for an upgrade. Hello Web 2.0. Hello social networking, wikis, RSS, blogs and user-driven content. Hello web services, SOAP and REST. Hello XML, Javascript, AJAX, and Silverlight.

Web 2.0 is a perceived or proposed second generation of the web. According to Tim O'Reilly: "Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."

Web 2.0 is a whole new world and Hacking By Numbers - Web 2.0 Edition is a course designed to prepare you for it. Brought to you by the same team that created the successful 'Bootcamp' and 'Combat' editions, "Web 2.0 Edition" focuses on the knowledge, skills, tools and thinking techniques required to understand security and hacking in the Web 2.0 world.

Hello XSS, XSRF, XSRT and friends!

HBN Web 2.0 Edition is aimed primarily at understanding how we attack the "Web 2.0" technologies and concepts. The course builds off Bootcamp Edition (it is therefore a more advanced course) but is still be structured, practical and extremely hands-on in the established "Hacking By Numbers" tradition.

Topics include:

  • Hacking Web Applications Refresher
  • Understanding Web 2.0 - concepts and technologies
  • Getting under the hood - A Web Services and Javascript Refresher
  • Hacking Web Services
  • Hacking the User - XSS Foo
  • Hacking the New Kids - AJAX, JSON, SOAP, RSS and the crew
  • Games and Hacking - How we hack games and how we're actually always hacking games

The course is full of brand new content and brand new labs and cutting-edge emulations.
