Innocent Code Prize for Best Post on WebAppSec

[Mark Curphey <mark () curphey com>]

A long time contributor to this list and OWASP, Sverre Huseby has recently put his vast knowledge into print in a book 
called "Innocent Code : A Security Wake-Up Call for Web Programmers". It’s an excellent book and really fills a gap 
where many of the other web security books don’t go IMHO.

I am glad to say Sverre has personally decided to donate a book a week for the next month to the best post on this list 
to give something back (and I am sure sell a few more books in the meantime).  I think it’s a great idea to promote 
quality posts on the list that we can all learn from. If it’s a success we may do more of this in the future.

Here is the way he will be judging who to award the weeks prize to.

<sverre>
I'll be looking for any kind of transfer of important knowledge.  It need not be anything new; it could for instance be 
a well-written reply to a frequently asked question.  It need not be long either, but if several posts appear as good 
candidates, the ones with most work behind them are more likely to win.

Any announced white papers will also be considered, but if there are multiple authors to a winning white paper, only 
one of them will receive a book (in that case I'll try to figure out who the lead author is).  Announced applications 
will not be part of the game.

If no good candidates are found during a week, I'll give the book to someone who has contributed in the past.

At the end of each week Sverre will post the winner to the list with some commentary.

So get posting !!!
