A new web application vulnerability assessment framework
This document proposes a new web application vulnerability assessment framework consisting of four phases: Application Analysis, Vulnerability Scanning/Exploitation, Assessment, and Mitigation. The Application Analysis phase involves identifying application, server, and network specifics. Vulnerability Scanning/Exploitation tests for vulnerabilities specific to the application, server, and network. Assessment evaluates the impact of any vulnerabilities found. Finally, Mitigation provides recommendations to address identified security issues. The framework takes a simplified approach to web application security testing.
Security Operations
The document discusses software security practices including code reviews, risk analysis, penetration testing, and security operations. It describes implementing a maturity model to build security into software development processes. It also covers topics like web application firewalls, deployment practices, and the software security framework with its practices and goals.

Security in Computing and IT
The document discusses three questions related to software and application security. Question 1 analyzes the criticality and impact of a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox, including its high CVSS score due to factors like network access vector and lack of authentication. Question 2 compares the timeliness and detail of virus listings from four top anti-virus companies. Question 3 evaluates the criticality and impact of a vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows DNS server, also resulting in a high CVSS score, and proposes network access restrictions and logging as solutions.
Web Application Security and Awareness
Secure web programming plus end users' awareness are the last line of defense against attacks targeted at the corporate systems, particularly web applications, in the era of world-wide web.
Most web application attacks occur through Cross Site Scripting (XSS), and SQL Injection. On the other hand, most web application vulnerabilities arise from weak coding with failure to properly validate users' input, and failure to properly sanitize output while displaying the data to the visitors.
The literature also confirms the following web application weaknesses in 2010: 26% improper output handling, 22% improper input handling, and 15% insufficient authentication, and others.
Abdul Rahman Sherzad, lecturer at Computer Science Faculty of Herat University, and Ph.D. student at Technical University of Berlin gave a presentation at 12th IT conference on Higher Education for Afghanistan in MoHE, and then conducted a seminar at Hariwa Institute of Higher Education in Herat, Afghanistan introducing web application security threats by demonstrating the security problems that exist in corporate systems with a strong emphasis on secure development. Major security vulnerabilities, secure design and coding best practices when designing and developing web-based applications were covered.
The main objective of the presentation was raising awareness about the problems that might occur in web-application systems, as well as secure coding practices and principles. The presentation's aims were to build security awareness for web applications, to discuss the threat landscape and the controls users should use during the software development lifecycle, to introduce attack methods, to discuss approaches for discovering security vulnerabilities, and finally to discuss the basics of secure web development techniques and principles.

The proposed tool aims to reduce false positives, allow simultaneous scans, and provide clear reports with countermeasure recommendations to better secure websites.
SOURCE CODE ANALYSIS TO REMOVE SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN JAVA SOCKET PROGR...
This paper presents the source code analysis of a file reader server socket program (connection-oriented
sockets) developed in Java, to illustrate the identification, impact analysis and solutions to remove five
important software security vulnerabilities, which if left unattended could severely impact the server
running the software and also the network hosting the server. The five vulnerabilities we study in this
paper are: (1) Resource Injection, (2) Path Manipulation, (3) System Information Leak, (4) Denial of
Service and (5) Unreleased Resource vulnerabilities. We analyze the reason why each of these
vulnerabilities occur in the file reader server socket program, discuss the impact of leaving them
unattended in the program, and propose solutions to remove each of these vulnerabilities from the
program. We also analyze any potential performance tradeoffs (such as increase in code size and loss of
features) that could arise while incorporating the proposed solutions on the server program. The
proposed solutions are very generic in nature, and can be suitably modified to correct any such
vulnerabilities in software developed in any other programming language. We use the Fortify Source
Code Analyzer to conduct the source code analysis of the file reader server program, implemented on a
Windows XP virtual machine with the standard J2SE v.7 development kit

Sqlas tool to detect and prevent attacks in php web applications
Web applications become an important part of our daily lives. Many other activities are relay on the functionality and security of these applications. Web application injection attacks, such as SQL injection (SQLIA), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF) are major threats to the
security of the Web Applications. Most of the methods are focused on detection and prevention from these
web application vulnerabilities at Run Time, which need manual monitoring efforts. Main goal of our work
is different in the way it aims to create new systems that are safe against injection attacks to begin with, thus allowing developers the freedom to write and execute code without having to worry about these attacks. In this paper we present SQL Attack Scanner (SQLAS) a Tool which can detect & prevent SQL injection Attack in web applications. We analyzed the performance of our proposed tool SQLAS with various PHP web applications and its results clearly determines the effectiveness of detection and prevention of our proposed tool. SQLAS scans web applications offline, it reduces time and manual effort due to less overhead of runtime monitoring because it only focus on fragments that are vulnerable for attacks. We use XAMPP for client server environment and developed a TESTBED on JAVA for evaluation of our proposed tool SQLAS.

Injection flaws occur when an application sends untrusted data to an interpreter. This talk will focus on different injection flaws, challenges associated with it and possible ways to mitigate it.
Prevention of SQL Injection Attacks having XML Database
This document discusses an XML-based technique called XML-SQL for preventing SQL injection attacks. It proposes submitting all client data to the server in an XML format and having the server validate the entire XML file against pre-defined validation rules at once, rather than validating each data item separately. This allows complex data to be validated more easily and generically. The technique aims to separate the data validation from the application development to make the developer's job simpler and more secure.
security misconfigurations
The document discusses security misconfiguration as the sixth most dangerous web application vulnerability according to the OWASP Top 10. It defines security misconfiguration as improper configuration settings that can enable attacks. The document outlines how attackers exploit default passwords and privileges, and provides examples of misconfigured systems. It recommends ways to prevent misconfiguration like changing defaults, deleting unnecessary accounts, and keeping systems updated. The document demonstrates how to detect hidden URLs and directory listings using Burp Suite and concludes that misconfiguration poses a high risk if not properly safeguarded against.
Techniques for securing rest
The document discusses techniques for securing REST (REpresentational State Transfer) services and APIs. It begins by explaining that REST services are vulnerable to the same attacks as traditional web applications, such as injection attacks and authentication issues. It then describes how REST security differs from SOAP security in that REST messages can be more easily identified by analyzing the HTTP commands, unlike SOAP messages which require inspecting envelopes. The document outlines challenges for REST APIs like input validation, broken authentication, and risks of emerging protocols. It concludes by recommending best practices for REST security such as consistent security checks across access points and use of proven security frameworks and libraries.

Introduction to penetration testing
this is a simple presentation that will give you a general overview and introduction to penetration testing.
SOURCE CODE ANALYSIS TO REMOVE SECURITY VULNERABILITIES IN JAVA SOCKET PROGRA...
This paper presents the source code analysis of a file reader server socket program (connection-oriented sockets) developed in Java, to illustrate the identification, impact analysis and solutions to remove five important software security vulnerabilities, which if left unattended could severely impact the server running the software and also the network hosting the server. The five vulnerabilities we study in this paper are: (1) Resource Injection, (2) Path Manipulation, (3) System Information Leak, (4) Denial of Service and (5) Unreleased Resource vulnerabilities. We analyze the reason why each of these vulnerabilities occur in the file reader server socket program, discuss the impact of leaving them unattended in the program, and propose solutions to remove each of these vulnerabilities from the program. We also analyze any potential performance tradeoffs (such as increase in code size and loss of features) that could arise while incorporating the proposed solutions on the server program. The proposed solutions are very generic in nature, and can be suitably modified to correct any suchvulnerabilities in software developed in any other programming language. We use the Fortify Source Code Analyzer to conduct the source code analysis of the file reader server program, implemented on a Windows XP virtual machine with the standard J2SE v.7 development kit.

Overview of Vulnerability Scanning.pptx
The document discusses vulnerability scanning and OpenVAS. Vulnerability scanning involves using a scanner to identify security weaknesses. OpenVAS is an open source vulnerability scanning framework that consists of several services and tools for vulnerability scanning and management. At the center is the OpenVAS scanner which executes Network Vulnerability Tests (NVTs) from an NVT database that is regularly updated. The OpenVAS Manager receives tasks from the administrator and keeps a history of past scans.
Security Threats and Vulnerabilities-2.pptx
The document discusses various cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities including trojans, viruses, sniffing, SQL injection, intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and honeypots. It provides definitions and explanations of each topic over multiple paragraphs. Trojans and viruses are defined as malicious programs that can steal data, encrypt files, or allow unauthorized access. Sniffing involves monitoring network traffic using tools like Wireshark. SQL injection is an attack that exploits vulnerabilities to execute malicious SQL statements. Intrusion detection systems detect intrusions while intrusion prevention systems can block attacks. Firewalls regulate network connections and block unauthorized access. Honeypots are decoy systems that aim to study cyber attackers.
Protecting location privacy in sensor networks against a global eavesdropper
The document discusses techniques for providing location privacy in sensor networks against a global eavesdropper. It proposes four techniques - periodic collection, source simulation, sink simulation, and backbone flooding - to provide location privacy for monitored objects (source location privacy) and data sinks (sink location privacy). These techniques provide trade-offs between privacy, communication cost, and latency. Analysis and simulation demonstrate that the proposed techniques are efficient and effective for providing source and sink location privacy in sensor networks.

It provides a simple interface for security professionals to simulate attacks while testing systems and identifying weaknesses. The document discusses Metasploit's history and versions, how it can be used to conduct penetration testing, and key concepts like vulnerabilities, exploits, and payloads.
Web application vulnerability assessment
A penetration test evaluates a system's security by simulating attacks. A web application penetration test focuses on a web application's security. The process involves actively analyzing the application for weaknesses, flaws, or vulnerabilities. Any issues found are reported to the owner along with impact assessments and mitigation proposals.
Sa No Scan Paper
The document provides an overview of Naknan's Security Assistant and noScan Antivirus NG products. Security Assistant is an enterprise endpoint security product that uses whitelisting to prevent execution of unauthorized software and securely manage software deployments. It integrates malware prevention, software management, remote commands, and system auditing. noScan is the consumer version that uses similar whitelisting techniques to protect home computers and small businesses with minimal resource usage and without interruptive scans. Both products take a different approach than traditional antivirus by focusing on authorizing known good software rather than identifying known bad software.
Attacking antivirus
This document discusses vulnerabilities in antivirus software. It begins by noting that over 165 vulnerabilities have been reported in antivirus software in the past 4 years according to the US National Vulnerability Database. It then examines why antivirus software is a target for attackers, including that users have blind faith in it and its error-prone nature in processing many file formats. The document outlines techniques used to find vulnerabilities, including source code audits, reverse engineering, and fuzzing. It also looks at exploiting found vulnerabilities, such as through weak permissions. The overall aim is to raise awareness of security issues in antivirus products.
It kamus virus security glossary
The document defines various terms related to computer security and viruses. It provides definitions for terms like 3G, adware, anti-virus databases, anti-virus engines, anti-virus updates, application programming interfaces, archive files, attack signatures, backdoor Trojans, bandwidth, batch files, behavioral analysis, binary code, and browser hijackers. The document serves as a glossary of security-related technical terms.
Benefits of web application firewalls
Web application firewalls (WAFs) examine traffic beyond IP and TCP headers to perform deep packet inspection and detect known application vulnerabilities without requiring code modifications. A typical WAF architecture filters network traffic and monitors sessions. WAFs can stop attacks before reaching web servers by filtering at the application layer. They provide compensating controls to protect faulty code and allow resources to focus elsewhere by securing applications at the network level. WAFs are useful for custom code without developers, vendor code with limited auditing, and legacy systems, particularly for government, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing.
