Here is forward from No Starch Press.
Besides this email, I would like to point out an example or two (you can
likely find more) of some Books (ISBN) that are also GPL licensed:
Important! If you look on this web page you can see where to test your
browser for frames capability:
MH is just one example.
http://oreilly.com/openbook/mh/
MH & xmh book: Frames help
http://oreilly.com/openbook/mh/frm-help.htm
http://oreilly.com/openbook/mh/frm-home.htm
Now you should see 3 frames displayed
I downloaded the archive file of 3rd edition (older) and it did frames.
The page had sites to get more updated versions though.
file:///home/mwalters/books/MH-book-original/index.htm
THIS is all just to give you some ideas. You pick you own path to
explore.
Look here: =====>
http://oreilly.com/openbook/
for open books. Remember, if you get the urge for a paper book, O'Reily
may sell it.
I saw a pdf of it for Letter size book and it looked nicely typeset.
Sorry, I lost the URL.
Theoretically you could typeset your own, to the size you want. LyX
imports HTML. I thought I got it to work at first, but not any more.
Wrong steps because it's getting late?
===
This is where aptitude installed it.
file:///usr/share/doc/mh-book/html/index.html
(looks like no frames)

I found some more install-able from the Debian Package Manager (I used
aptitude myself)
End of kind of wordy email

The Tangled Web--New from No Starch Press
Security Expert Michal Zalewski's Guide to Securing Modern Web Applications
San Francisco, CA, November 9, 2011--Modern web applications are built on a
tangle of technologies developed over time and haphazardly patched together.
Every piece of the web application stack, from HTTP requests to browser-side
scripts, is riddled with important yet subtle security gotchas that developers
need to understand in order to keep users safe online.
In "The Tangled Web" (No Starch Press, November 2011, 320 pp., $49.95, ISBN
9781593273880), Michal Zalewski, one of the world's top security experts and
author of Google's Browser Security Handbook, explains how browsers work and
why they're fundamentally insecure. Rather than simply list known
vulnerabilities, Zalewski examines the entire browser security model, revealing
weak points and providing crucial information for shoring up web application
security. The book opens with a comprehensive examination of browser
mechanisms, the historical reasons behind their design, and the security
consequences involved. After examining and dissecting the security mechanisms
available for web applications, Zalewski outlines anticipated future
developments in browser security, including planned HTML5 features.
"Since 'Silence on the Wire,' readers have been waiting for Zalewski's next
book," said No Starch Press Founder Bill Pollock. "As applications migrate to
the Web, exposing our private data to a wide range of attacks, the security
community is badly in need of instruction on how to make web applications more
secure. Zalewski offers real insight."
Readers of "The Tangled Web" will learn how to:
- Perform common but surprisingly complex tasks such as URL parsing and HTML
sanitization
- Use modern security features like Strict Transport Security, Content Security
Policy, and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
- Leverage many variants of the same-origin policy to safely compartmentalize
complex web applications and protect user credentials in case of XSS bugs
- Build mashups and embed gadgets without getting stung by the tricky frame
navigation policy
- Embed or host user-supplied content without running into the trap of content
sniffing
"The Tangled Web" will prove indispensable to web developers and security
researchers who want to create secure web applications that stand the test of
time and the savviest of attackers.
