Security Assessment of Web Applications

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A web application is a computer software application that is coded in a browser-supported programming language and reliant on a common web browser to render the application executable. Web hacking refers to exploitation of application via HTTP which can be done by manipulating the application via its graphical web interface, tampering the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) or tampering HTTPS elements not contained in the URI. In this monograph, we will present a case study for security assessment of a web application and also will insert our script to a web application as an example of a cross-site scripting exploitation. In chapter one, is given a short introduction on web application technology and evolution. In chapter two, are described web application vulnerabilities, security issues, and countermeasures. In chapter three are presented experimental setup and results. There are described two experiments; first, we have presented the security assessment for a web application, by utilizing Acunetix tool and secondly, we have implemented a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) exploit over the bWAPP framework.
