Web Security

The growth in web applications has reached to a large extends, less trusted user and more vulnerable attacks. Code reviews, penetration testing, and intrusion detection systems are just a few ways that organizations are using to control growing attacks and by applying SSL, firewall, vulnerability scanner, periodic assessment, anti-virus, skilled web developers will not solve the web application security problems. So security mechanism has developed to provide solution for the growing problem of web application vulnerabilities.
The research areas of this paper focused on the commonly reported security vulnerability in the web applications. Un-validated Input, Improper Error Handling, Parameter Modification and Directory Traversal have been the most popular web vulnerabilities. Further, the research includes methods for identifying the vulnerabilities and then providing security techniques to protect web application from those vulnerabilities.
Securing the websites against the web vulnerabilities is challenge. The result shows the security mechanisms for the web applicationvulnerabilities. So the study of web vulnerabilities, identifying the vulnerable attacks and providing security for the same.
