Detecting malicious URLs using binary classification through ada boost algori...IJECEIAES
Malicious Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a frequent and severe menace to cybersecurity. Malicious URLs are used to extract unsolicited information and trick inexperienced end users as a sufferer of scams and create losses of billions of money each year. It is crucial to identify and appropriately respond to such URLs. Usually, this discovery is made by the practice and use of blacklists in the cyber world. However, blacklists cannot be exhaustive, and cannot recognize zero-day malicious URLs. So to increase the observation of malicious URL indicators, machine learning procedures should be incorporated. In this study, we have developed a complete prototype of Malicious URL Detection using machine learning methods. In particular, we have attempted an exact formulation of Malicious URL exposure from a machine learning perspective and proposed an approach using the AdaBoost algorithm - the proposed approach has brought forward more accuracy than other existing algorithms.
Web application scanners crawl a web application to locate vulnerabilities by simulating attacks. They work by supporting various protocols, crawling and parsing content, testing for vulnerabilities, and generating reports. While scanners help find issues, developers should focus on learning secure coding practices to build applications securely from the start.

Routine Detection Of Web Application Defence FlawsIJTET Journal
Abstract— The detection process for security vulnerabilities in ASP.NET websites / web applications is a complex one, most of the code is written by somebody else and there is no documentation to determine the purpose of source code. The characteristic of source code defects generates major web application vulnerabilities. The typical software faults that are behind of web application vulnerabilities, taking into different programming languages. To analyze their ability to prevent security vulnerabilities ASP.NET which is part of .NET framework that separate the HTML code from the programming code in two files, aspx file and another for the programming code. It depends on the compiled language (Visual Basic VB, C sharp C#, Java Script). Visual Basic and C# are the most common languages using with ASP.NET files, and these two compiled languages are in the construction of our proposed algorithm in addition to aspx files. The hacker can inject his malicious as a input or script that can destroy the database or steal website files. By using scanning tool the fault detection process can be done. The scanning process inspects three types of files (aspx, VB and C#). then the software faults are identified.

The objectives are to perform a local network scan to discover all resources, enumerate user accounts, execute remote penetration tests, and gather information about local network computers. Students are instructed to launch Advanced IP Scanner on the attacker machine and use it to scan the network of the victim machine in order to identify devices, live hosts, open ports, and vulnerabilities. The results of the network scan should then be analyzed and documented.
The document provides an overview of basics of web application security. It discusses what web application security is, why web application firewalls are not complete solutions, and how to secure websites and web applications. It also introduces history of security flaws, vulnerabilities in web applications, and the OWASP Top 10 risks. The objectives, network vs web security, and how to secure applications through developer training and testing are covered. Types of security testing and their benefits are also summarized.
Vulnerability scanning evaluates an organization's systems and network to identify vulnerabilities such as missing patches, unnecessary services, weak authentication, and weak encryption. The document discusses using the Advanced IP Scanner tool to perform a network scan on a target Windows Server 2008 system from a Windows 8 attacker system to check for live systems, open ports, and gather information about computers on the local network. It provides instructions on launching Advanced IP Scanner, entering an IP address range to scan, and viewing the scan results.
Web application vulnerabilities involve a system flaw or weakness in a web-based application. They have been around for years, largely due to not validating or sanitizing form inputs, misconfigured web servers, and application design flaws, and they can be exploited to compromise the application's security.
Application Security - Your Success Depends on itWSO2
Traditional information security mainly revolves around network and operating system (OS) level protection. Regardless of the level of security guarding those aspects, the system can be penetrated and the entire deployment can be brought down if your application's security isn't taken into serious consideration. Information security should ideally start at the application level, before network and OS level security is ensured. To achieve this, security needs to be integrated into the application at the software development phase.
In this session, Dulanja will discuss the following:
The importance of application security - why network and OS security is insufficient.
Challenges in securing your application.
Making security part of the development lifecycle.
This document provides an overview of a security bootcamp presentation on computer and web application security. It discusses the history of security threats dating back to 1943 and examples of computer worms and viruses from 1979 to 2011 that caused billions in damages. It also covers topics like HTTP and HTTPS protocols, basic web architecture including components, vulnerabilities, and how firewalls, network scanners and web application firewalls have limitations and are not complete solutions for web application security. The document emphasizes the importance of secure development practices, thorough application testing, and use of automated testing tools to continuously check for vulnerabilities.
Here are some common reasons why programs and applications may be vulnerable to buffer overflows:
cases, not done at all by the programmer. This
allows writing beyond the allocated buffer size.
1. Lack of input validation and sanitization: Programmers often fail to validate user input before using it. Malformed or excessive input is not checked, allowing a buffer overflow.
Use of unsafe functions like strcpy(), sprintf()
that do not perform boundary checks.
2. Use of unsafe functions: Functions like strcpy(), sprintf() are commonly used but do not perform boundary checks of the destination buffer. This can lead to buffer overflows.
Programmers assume input will be within

The document provides an overview of web application security. It discusses what web application security entails, which is achieving an acceptable level of security for a web application solution. It explains why web application security is important given increased reliance on web apps and their global accessibility. It outlines some common security risks like browser hijacking, cookie theft, and denial of service attacks. It also discusses how security problems should be addressed earlier in the development lifecycle to reduce costs. The document then delves into specific vulnerabilities like hidden field manipulation, cookie poisoning, buffer overflows, and cross-site scripting attacks. Examples are provided to illustrate how attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities.

It covers topics like encryption, authentication, vulnerabilities in open source code, and how to evaluate open source libraries for security issues. The document demonstrates penetration testing tools like Vega and SQLMap to find vulnerabilities like SQL injection in web applications.
This document summarizes recent trends in web application security vulnerabilities. Client-side attacks like XSS remain prominent along with emerging threats involving mobile and cloud technologies. Old vulnerabilities persist in widely used software like PHP and Apache. The growth of IoT and "smart" devices introduces many new insecure products. Overall, new technologies are often released without security testing, while older software houses long-standing flaws. The document concludes that as applications and networks grow more complex, so too will security issues, requiring continued research and vigilance.

This document summarizes recent trends in web application security vulnerabilities. Client-side attacks like XSS remain prominent along with emerging threats involving cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Things. Old vulnerabilities persist in widely used software while new issues are found in new technologies. Overall, the growth of web applications and their interactions creates many new attack surfaces despite ongoing security improvements, ensuring hackers will continue finding novel ways to exploit systems.
Web Application Testing for Today’s Biggest and Emerging ThreatsAlan Kan
The document discusses emerging threats to web applications and strategies for testing applications to identify vulnerabilities. It finds that nearly half of all vulnerabilities are in web applications, with cross-site scripting and SQL injection being most common. Many vulnerabilities have no patches available yet. New attack types like client-side vulnerabilities are also emerging. The document advocates integrating security testing into the development process to help developers write more secure code and find issues early.

Ceh v8 labs module 06 trojans and backdoorsAsep Sopyan
The document provides instructions for a lab on creating a remote access Trojan using the ProRat tool. The objectives are to create a ProRat server by binding it to an image file, configure options like the server port and password, and send the infected file to a victim machine. Once executed on the victim, the ProRat server would allow remote access and control of the victim system. The lab demonstrates how easily Trojans can be used to gain unauthorized access to computers and networks.
