Web Security: Emerging Threats and Defense

Web applications have become a widely accepted method to support the internet for past decade. Since they been successfully installed in business activities and there is requirement of advanced functionalities, configuration growing becoming more complicated. The demand complexity also make these web preferred target intruders on internet. Even with security specialists, remain highly problematic penetration code reviewing methods. It requires considering different testing patterns both codes testing. As result, number hacked websites increasing day by day. Most vulnerabilities occur due incorrect input validation lack result lousy programming practices or coding errors. Vulnerability scanners can detect few dynamic approach. These are quite easy use; however, often miss out some unique critical static Although time-consuming, find complex improve developer knowledge best practices. Many choose approaches, developers select them based their requirements conditions. This research explores provides details SQL injection, operating system command path traversal, cross-site scripting through approaches. examines various measures selected five tools features scanning PHP, JAVA focuses scripting, Path Traversal, command. Moreover, this discusses approach cyber-security tester finding approaches using manual automated vulnerability scanners.
