Application protection is a valuable security layer to protect against a number of application layer security threats which is usually not protected by a typical network layer intrusion detection system. The hackers will attack the Web Application using the methods like structured Query Language (SQL) Injection, Cross Site Scripting (XSS), Command Injection, cookie poisoning, etc. These problems are addressed by presenting an algorithm for the automatic detection of vulnerabilities in web application and preventing web application from various attacks. The proposed system monitors all the incoming and outgoing data in the web application and blocks application level attacks launched by the attackers. Keywords— application attacks, application firewall, application security, pattern matching.
