Conventions Used

There are several text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and X (formerly Twitter) handles. Here is an example: “Since '1'='1' is always true, this query will always return all data from the users table, giving the malicious user access to all user accounts.”

A block of code is set as follows:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'username' AND password = 'password'

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: “Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offers virtualized computing resources, including Virtual Machines (VMs), storage, and networking. The user controls their infrastructure, while the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) oversees the physical hardware.”
