dominant over the past few years, regardless of which place they fall into. In 2013 they were: injection, broken authentication and session management, and cross-site scripting. The purpose of this paper is to delve further into three of the top web application vulnerabilities from the past few years and evaluate their impact. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) was the number one vulnerability in 2007 and remains prevalent today. XSS occur when an application takes untrusted data and sends it to a web browser
INTRODUCTION Two of the common known attacks on computing systems are the deployment of computer viruses and malware. Computer viruses are minute program which is “embedded inside an application or within a data file which can copy itself into another program“(Adams et al, 2008 ) for the sole determination of meddling with normal computer operations. The consequences may range from corruption and deletion of data; propagation of virus on to network and deployment through attachments through
diminutive it may be. Perhaps that’s the irony of present day, where there are numerous technologies that have actually redefined the very way of working and the way they are anticipated. For the current project pertaining to elite institution web site which pledges to bridge the communication gap between the students and teachers, there were many options which could provide a comfortable interface to work upon. The options are many and therefore thresholds are limited when it comes to choosing a

Introduction: Javascript is a scripting language, primarily designed for adding interactivity to web pages and web applications. It was developed by Brendan Eich, the language was first implemented by Netscape communications crop in 1995. JavaScript was originally developed under the name Mocha , later it called as LIVESCRIPT. But, changed to javascript when it was deployed in the Netscape browser vwesion 2.0B3, as a marketing ploy by Sun Microsystems and Netscape.. Javascript is totally different
than a 100 XSS injection and a breach attack with some other medium and low threats. The “BREACH attack” threat in MySpace allows an attacker to leverage information leaked by compression to recover targeted parts of the plaintext. For the “Cross site scripting” threat here, it allows an attacker to inject malicious code to another user in order to steal the session cookie and take over the account. The medium level risk or the “HTML form without CSRF protection” could be a false positive alert.
a college event. This website allowed the participants as well as visitors to obtain details regarding various event activities as well as register themselves. I also filtered blind SQL Injections that helped avoid dummy registrations using cross site scripting. Moreover, I was fortunate to get an opportunity to work on an International Project during our academic tenure. It was a collaborative initiative between my college and US based company called Ativio. We developed a tourism portal for Indi

Introduction There are more Web application vulnerabilities than one can even count, and they have become so widespread that most hacking sites have tools that you can download to search, find, and exploit tools these vulnerabilities. This makes it very easy for even a rookie hacker to exploit these flaws. The three common web application vulnerabilities and attacks are as follows: Username enumeration, Security misconfiguration, and SQL Injection. Three common Web application vulnerabilities and
Today software applications play a major role in the business industry. So the developers must think of their inventions’ security when they deal with them. Then only they will achieve their business aims by securing the proper quality of their application. So the security risk assessment is essential when the software developer produces a Web application representing software industry. Therefore Web designing engineer must attend to have new ideas to provide new techniques and tools that create

The branches of the military, for a couple generations, have always been the Army, Navy, Air force, Marine Corps, and the Coast Guard; however, in an ever evolving digital world, the notion that outer space would be the next military front is being rapidly replaced by the idea that cyber space will be the next arms race. The United States has been defending attacks on their infrastructure day after day, night after night, when one hacker on one side of the world sleeps, another takes their place

molecules to provide new targets and opportunities for future drug development. Moreover, using the information obtained through visualization softwares, one can predict the binding affinities of different molecules as they interact with protein binding sites and can help in the discovery of a new drug (Breda et al., 2007). 2.3. Protein visualization and human diseases: Proteins carry out various biological functions by their interactions between another protein and other molecules. Consequently, they
Introduction Cyber crime is something that has become part of today’s cyberspace culture and it is a steadily growing threat on the rise. Trusteer” a Boston-based computer security company recently published a report titled “Measuring the Effectiveness of In-the-Wild Phishing Attacks”. Based on Trusteer’s calculations they concluded that the loss per every successfully compromised online banking account is approximately $2,000 which is equivalent to $9.4M per year per each one million customers
Remote Control Software Used in a Local Area Network Introduction Remote control software can solve many of the problems that an administrator or user can encounter on a local area network. Using a remote-control program, one can access a PC remotely to exchange files between systems, run applications, take control of a client PC or server in order to troubleshoot a problem, and much more. Remote-control software is an application that you install on two PCs that permits one system (the guest)

I. INTRODUCTION A ndroid operated devices are one of the most competitive technology devices in the market, with the fastest growing market share within the mobile industry [1]. Technology experts predict that it will dominate the mobile market in the coming decade. Additionally, recent research shows a huge year over year increase in the number of Android specific malware attacks [1,3]. It is relatively straightforward to investigate such attacks when they occur on mature operating system platforms
