Vulnerabilities in modern web applicationsNiyas Nazar
Microsoft powerpoint presentation for BTech academic seminar.This seminar discuses about penetration testing, penetration testing tools, web application vulnerabilities, impact of vulnerabilities and security recommendations.
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.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

16. Password Cracking Depends on
Attacker's strengths
Attacker's computing resources
Attacker's knowledge
Attacker's mode of access [physical or online]
Strength of the passwords
How often you change your passwords?
How close are the old and new passwords?
How long is your password?
Have you used every possible combination: alphabets, numbers and special characters?
How common are your letters, words, numbers or combination?
Have you used strings followed by numbers or vice versa, instead of mixing them
randomly?
18. What is Keylogging?
Keystroke logging
A program or hardware device that captures every
key depression on the computer
Used to monitor employee performance
Used to seal private information
19. Malicious Uses…
Besides being used for legitimate purposes,
keyloggers can be hardware installed to a computer
or software that is used to collect sensitive
information.
The types of sensitive information include:
Usernames & Passwords
Credit Card Numbers
Person Information such as Name, Address, etc.
20. Keylogging Hardware...
These small devices connect directly on the end of
a keyboard to the port on the computer and look
rather unassuming.
At a later time the person who installed the
keylogger can come back to retrieve it. They are
easily removed.

21. Software…
There are hundreds of keylogger programs
available over the internet for download.
There are three ways for an attacker to install the
software on an unsuspecting computer.
1. Install it from a compact disc or floppy disk.
2. Package the software as a computer virus or
trojan horse.
3. Gain access to the computer over a network and
install surveillance software remotely.
23. Prevention…
There are several ways to prevent Keyloggers:
• Anti-Virus/Spyware & Firewalls
• Automatic Form Fillers
• Alternative Keyboard Layouts
• On screen Keyboards
24. Anti-Virus/Spyware &
Firewalls...
As with any Virus or Spyware you should make sure
that you have up-to-date protection.
Anti-Virus:
Make sure its running and using the latest virus
definitions.
Anti-Spyware:
Same as your Anti-Virus Software, update regularly.
Firewall:
Make sure its active. It’s the first line of defense
from online intrusions.
25. AutoForm Fillers…
A common feature of Web Browsers including
Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Works against keyloggers but vulnerable to other
security breaches.
29. Summary...
Key Loggers record keystrokes:
• Legitimate use: Monitor employee productivity
• Illegal uses: Steal passwords, usernames, and
other personal/corporate data
There are ways to protect yourself:
• Be aware of what’s installed on your computer
• Use caution when surfing the internet
• Keep your computer’s security software
updated
Editor's Notes
Using Fake pages or application
Keystroke logging (often called keylogging) is a diagnostic tool used in software development that captures the user's keystrokes. It can be useful to determine sources of error in computer systems and is sometimes used to measure employee productivity on certain clerical tasks. Such systems are also highly useful for law enforcement and espionage—for instance, providing a means to obtain passwords or encryption keys and thus bypassing other security measures. However, keyloggers are widely available on the Internet and can be used by private parties to spy on the computer usage of others.

People who install keyloggers are interested in your information. Once they have it they can steal your identity and ruin your credit which can then take years and money in order to clear your name.
People may also install these devices for commercial espionage to steal a company’s plans for a new product.
Because your keyboard plugs in the back of your machine, a device like this can go unnoticed for a long time and can even look like they belong there.
The only obstacle for the person installing the hardware is getting access to your computer. Depending whether or not the computer is in a public place it could be rather easy.
Installing from a disk is the hardest way for an attacker to install the software, like with the hardware, they have to have physical contact with a users machine.
Installing a Keylogger via virus or trojan horse is an effective and easy way to deliver the program. It could be installed and running on your computer without you even knowing.
Most computers come with demo’s of Anti-Virus software and allow you to purchase a license for a full version. Free protection is also available for download, such as AVG Free. Most come with an automatic update feature to keep you current.
As with Anti-Virus Software you can buy or download free versions of Ant-Spyware, sometimes called Anti-Malware. Free utilities include Windows Defender and Ad-Aware.
A firewall's basic task is to control traffic between computer networks with different zones of trust. Windows comes with a firewall utility and others, such as ZoneAlarm, can be downloaded for free. Firewalls keep intruders out.
Internet Explorer and other web browser come with the option to complete forms, usernames and passwords automatically. Although this is good at preventing keyloggers from viewing your information, there are other ways people can access information stored by the autoform feature.
Because most keyloggers expect you to be using the standard keyboard, using an alternative layout will make the data any keylogger intercepts as gibberish, unless they can convert it.
Software not 100% effective because most of these programs convert the mouse click into a keyboard event message that must be sent to the external target program to type text, like the version that comes with Windows XP.
Web-based on-screen keyboards may provide some degree of protection.
The game Maple Story uses a 4-digit Pin Code secured by both on-screen keyboard entry and a randomly changing button pattern; there is no real way to get the latter information without logging the screen and mouse movements; another MMORPG called RuneScape makes a similar system available for players to protect their in-game bank accounts with.
