Although, I don't have the habit of reading books, here are a few books which you may consider reading.


  • Database Hackers Handbook (David Litchfield)
  • Oracle Hacker's Handbook (David Litchfield)
  • Hacking Web Applications Exposed (TMH Publications)
  • Essential PHP Security (Chris Shifflett)
