Features: This book teaches you how to defend against the latest Java-based attacks in a step-by-step manner, allowing you to thoroughly understand the malicious methods and thought processes of hackers. Through practical Java and J2EE code throughout the book, you will witness real-world hacking incidents and learn corresponding countermeasures. With the widespread use of Java applications, Java security issues are becoming increasingly complex. The author of this book exposes the methods and techniques hackers use to attack Java applications through real-world attack cases, proposing defensive measures and solutions to help you stay one step ahead. The book begins by introducing the architecture and basic security mechanisms of Java and J2EE, explaining security packages such as Java authentication and authorization services, Java Cryptography Extension (JCE), and Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE). It includes a complete and clear example project, and by studying its different versions—including a standalone application version, a two-tier application version, a web-based version, and an EJB-based version—the book demonstrates the various security issues Java and J2EE applications may encounter in different environments and promptly proposes corresponding strategies. This book is a treasure trove for developers of Java security applications, focusing on issues closely related to application developers. It is aimed at application developers familiar with the Java language, and it is also an invaluable reference for network administrators and professionals who want to learn how to maintain the security of J2EE and Java Web applications.
