A FINAL WORD TO OUR READERS
The Web 2.0 term gets abused quite often; however, there is new technology behind the
hype. Web 2.0 is a collection of a lot of new, emerging, and existing technologies that
make web sites work in some cases and simply more interesting in other cases. Unfortunately,
in the World Wide Web, the words new, emerging, and exciting usually mean the
absence of security (in favor of more functionality or improved performance, every security
person??™s favorite discussion). When reading the book, please note the authors have
attempted to focus purely on newer technologies being used on the web. Some of them
fall into the Web 2.0 umbrella, such as AJAX, and some of them don??™t, such as ActiveX.
Either way, the authors have attempted to discuss many next-generation web technologies
to give readers an understanding of the new attack classes on the web as well as the
older attack classes with updated Web 2.
