Dear Friends,

                           Greetings !! .. Can someone please provide
a list of books containing the methodology to test vulnerabilities for
both network and web based vulnerabilities ( session replay , session
fixation ) etc.

thanks in advance


Are you looking to test web apps, or the network and all systems/apps on
the network? Two entirely different things w/ two entirely different
answers. For web apps, I recommend:

The Web Application Hacker's Handbook previously mentioned is great.
Also, the OWASP Guide is also a must.

I also recommend:
XSS Attacks: Cross Site Scripting Exploits and Defense by Seth Fogie,
Jeremiah Grossman, Robert Hansen, and Anton Rager.


If you really want detail on pen testing books, post this question to
the pen testing mailing list.
