PRAISE FOR THE ART OF SOFTWARE SECURITY TESTING
- “Software security testing may indeed be an art, but this book provides the paint-by-numbers to perform good, solid and appropriately destructive security testing: proof that an ounce of creative destruction is worth a pound of patching later. If understanding how software can be broken is step one in every programmer's twelve-step program to defensible, secure, robust software, then knowledgeable security testing comprises at least steps two through six.”
– Mary Ann Davidson, Chief Security Officer, Oracle
