The provided Book is a table of contents and excerpts from Michal Zalewski's book, "The Tangled Web: A Guide to Securing Modern Web Applications." The book explores the complexities of web application security by examining the underlying mechanisms of web browsers and their inherent vulnerabilities. It focuses on the interactions between various web technologies (HTTP, HTML, JavaScript, etc.) and how design flaws in these technologies create security risks. Rather than simply listing vulnerabilities, the book explains the reasons behind these flaws and offers practical guidance on mitigating them. The excerpts highlight specific security issues related to URLs, HTTP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, plug-ins, and browser security features. A "Security Engineering Cheat Sheet" is included in each chapter to provide concise solutions to common problems.
