Web Application Of Web Applications

Everyday tech users are increasingly engaged with web and mobile applications. These programs have many uses and can be very helpful in progressive usage. However, these applications also serve as the most accessible point of entry for malicious attackers to wreak havoc. The continual growth and usage of web-applications makes the infrastructure one that is susceptible to attack due to lack of thorough security implementation. The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a community-based non-profit organization that concentrates on increasing the safety in the realm of web applications. It was started in 2001 and ever since then its primary goal has been to create a high level of transparency in the web applications and software

As more and more technology moves to cloud based technology it is almost certain that the CSA will have new and emerging regulations that may impact the web application security landscape.

If we turn the clock backwards about 10 or 15 years, we find that people do not care much for the security of the web due to the lack of trying to exploit web applications for personal interests. But more recently, the issues related to the security of the Web began to grow, but unfortunately, there are many Web applications that have been developed, but these applications are started without any design for security.

Web application security is a form of security that deals specifically with the security of websites, their applications and web services. At advanced levels, web application security touches on the principles of web application security but applies them directly to Internet and Web systems.

The Server-Side Includes attack allows the exploitation of a web application by injecting scripts in HTML pages or executing arbitrary codes remotely. It can be exploited through manipulation of SSI in use in the application or force its use through user input fields. The attacker can access sensitive information, such as password files, and execute shell commands. The SSI directives are injected in input fields and they are sent to the web server. The web server parses and executes the directives before supplying the page. Then, the attack result will be viewable the next time that the page is loaded for the user's browser.

The article, which addresses security loopholes in modern computing environments, by Loscocco et al highlights what is and has been being done security wise in the past and how secure these implementations were and going forward what should be done to ensure in depth security which guarantees system wide security (1998). The article first explains features of secure operating system and why current systems implemented under the notion of application space security ultimately failed to safe guard the integrity and confidentiality of our assets. The article then continued with general examples of access control and cryptography implemented in the application space with no or little support from operating system and showed their vulnerabilities to attacks such as tampering, bypassing and spoofing. The article supplied real-life examples to support the evidence that building security in the application space without secure operating system is meaningless. The article raised concrete examples on mobile code security, Kerberos network authentication service, IPSEC and SSL network security protocols and firewall. The paper finally put an interesting remark that security implemented in application space without secure operating system is like “building a house in a pile of sand” and it also emphasized that secure operating system without better security on the

Web application vulnerabilities account for the largest portion of attacks outside of malware. It is crucial that any web application be tested for vulnerabilities and any issues be fixed prior to production deployment.

My paper focuses on a security assessment of Quality Web Design (QWD), which is a very successful company that is well-known for its magnificent and appealing websites; they work

Abstract – Software Security is the need of the hour today, especially when we have so many of our day to day activities depending upon computers, internet and software’s. These technologies are of utmost importance even for the most basic activities like banking, trading, shopping, social media and communication, which uses different software tools to provide service to users all around the world. Migrating to this tech world has made it a necessity to provide a high quality of software with equally good security. Systems nowadays like a banking system deals with highly sensitive personal information, so providing software security is as much important as the development of the software. The course project required us to develop a secure banking system which helped us to learn about the various software security tools and the get knowledge regarding the current trends in the field, what can be the possible attack vectors , attack patterns and how to mitigate their effects and defend the system against various such factors.

With the quick advancement of Internet, system database security has turned into the center of system security. The exploration of database security innovation against SQL assaults has turned out to be exceptionally earnest. In this paper, we investigate standards of SQL assaults, contemplate a database insurance framework which is utilized between the Web application and the database. The framework gives distinctive defensive measures to customary clients and directors to adequately ensure the security of the database. the part of a Web application and database in the database between the security framework for customary clients and directors

With the advent of Internet, web applications have become a day to day feature in our lives. Also with the constant usage of online services increasing every day, there has been an equally growing concern regarding the security threats in web applications. One of the most common attacks exploiting the vulnerabilities of various types of applications along with web applications is through the Structured Query Language Injection Attack also known as SQL Injection Attack. Based on a recent study by OWASP, SQL injection attack has the highest rank in revealing web based vulnerabilities. One of the major motivation for the attacker to perform SQL injection attack is for retrieving all the contents from the database without any authorization or permission. It is a code injection technique where an attacker inserts a malicious query in the original legitimate SQL query. After the execution of the query, the attacker has the access to the database and can obtain, change, and update data for which he/she does not have any permission.

Human error: Errors caused by people who get into contact with the web application or data servers either as operators or users include; accidental deletion of data, destruction of software programs, configuration or hardware error. Vulnerabilities left by the software developers in software, is another major error. This can include authentication which can be bypassed, failure to validate input and output data, incorrect implementation of encryption, escalation of privileges, and failure to handle errors correctly can be used to attack web application leading to exposure of sensitive data such as customer’s financial data. This can be used to cause fraud to the customer’s bank or credit card.

One click; that is all it takes for hackers to steal the information they desire. As the Internet continues to grow with new web applications, associated security threats also grow. Two of the most common, and dangerous, threats to web applications are Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and Cross-Site Scripting (CSS); in fact, both threats appear in the 2013 OWASP Top 10 list of critical security risks. Understanding the threat of CSRF and CSS is essential to reducing the risk faced by users and developers of web applications.

Abstract— SQL injection is a technique where malicious users can inject SQL commands into an SQL statement through user input. SQL Injection is one type of web attack mechanisms used by malicious user to steal data from organizations. It is among one of the most common application layer attack techniques used normally. It is one of the types of attack which takes advantage of improper coding to inject SQL commands into form through user input to allow them to gain access to the data.

In recent years many types of work is done by web application. Web application plays imperative function in recent years. But now a days hacker can freely ingress web application by using many type of techniques. So it’s mean that web application visualize different kind of security threats. But Sql injection is one of the top most bad attack techniques in the web application. This type of techniques sanction the hacker to gain information to organization database. Attacker dripped the information in online transaction, online banking, paper , mail etc. Data and information is very vital issue in organization, business and industries. Now a days attacker can expose freely of all the sensitive information in database. So
