Microsoft has put together a neat Virtual Lab were users can test run various web hacking techniques. In the lab they have create a web application that is vulnerable to several different types of attacks. You can load up the lab and actually perform an XSS hack, or do some SQL injection to deface the front page. Each different attack has step by step directions as well as information about securing and protecting your own site.
It is very much an IE and Windows website though. The introduction is in Silverlight, and the rest of the page is a mashup of Flash and ActiveX controls. Regardless, I think it is worth the time and effort needed to give this a run through. It’s good for users as well as web developers to see the types of attacks on web applications that are possible.
