What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

Overall an excellent read! Easy to follow scripts presented in the point of view as a hacker (including subtle remarks toward those that use these techniques for ill-fated purposes). Cameron presents an idea, shows the python script and corresponding source contents for which this script works against, then describes the scripts steps, and then goes on to describe additional related things about this script. You could say that each script could build upon each other, but that's not totally true. The author makes sure they are really cut and paste recipes. He gives you the recipe and often a way to include it into a bigger, more comprehensive script - that builds upon each step as the book progresses. Being a cookbook, there is plenty of code examples for you to try out. This is not a book about theory, but rather implementation - so all the fluff is cut out and it gets right to the point.The book also focuses most of the direct web page vulnerability testing (2-3 chapters) at php script as the web pages' source. This would have been nice to have a corresponding discussion related to aspx, jsp, etc. There is some discussion of other technology other than php, and I get that the book would have probably doubled in size if more common page source was discussed, but it is something to think about when reading. Create the same page in aspx or jsp and attempt if there is a similar vulnerability.Don't worry though, there's plenty of scripts related to SQL injection, header processing, encryption, encoding, payloads, shells, and even how to report your findings. These items are not necessarily exclusive to a single technology, so you are not pigeon-holed into testing only a certain type of website/server.This book is not about learning python so if you're new to it, and you really want to understand how to manipulate each recipe, then I suggest searching for a beginner python book. However, that being said, most average level programmers can understand the scripts presented without needing to reach out for a python book/video.Being in the industry for over 15 years, I've seen a lot of tools you can buy off the shelf that tout the ability to do this same thing just by running a program. I think knowing what it actually does is key to really understanding your vulnerabilities rather than trusting someone else's process because after all, attack vectors change all the time and with this information you can easily change your scripts.In conclusion, this book is perfect for a web application developer wanting to test her application or an IT person ready to see just how vulnerable their application is - all with the ability to report the findings to those who need to know where to plug the holes. This is a book I will be referring to during and after each project I work on.

Wonderful published book. Great vendor!!

Always Helpful Oct 30, 2015

I had high hopes for this but the code only works on certain system and a lot of the examples are of a poor quality.If you compare this with other books on the market then it leaves a lot to be desired!

So many of examples don't work, have to search online to fix.
