Web Application Security ?
Practice of protecting web applications from various security threats and vulnerabilities. It involves implementing security measures and controls to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of web applications and the data they handle.
Web applications are vulnerable to a wide range of attacks, including:
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Attackers inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by users, allowing them to steal sensitive information or perform unauthorized actions.
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): This attack tricks users into unknowingly performing actions on a web application without their consent, potentially leading to unauthorized actions being executed.
SQL Injection: Attackers manipulate input fields in web applications to execute unauthorized SQL queries, potentially gaining access to or modifying the application's database.
Security Misconfigurations: Poorly configured web servers, frameworks, or platforms can leave vulnerabilities exposed, allowing attackers to exploit them.
Session Hijacking: Attackers steal or manipulate session tokens to gain unauthorized access to a user's session and impersonate them on the web application.
Denial of Service (DoS) Attacks: These attacks aim to disrupt the availability of a web application by overwhelming it with excessive traffic or resource consumption.
