With more and more organizations offering their services via online channels, cybercrime has picked up significantly. Banking, e-commerce, retail, health, defense, government, transportation and other websites have given hackers (and commercial attackers) a large choice of potential targets to exploit.
Session Hijacking is the exploitation of the web session control mechanism, where the hacker exploits vulnerable connections and steals HTTP cookies to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information/data stored in web servers. This kind of attack, also known as Cookie
This hacking methodology basically involves the taking over of the victim’s session with the web server after he’s logged in. This is made possible by exploiting limitations in the application’s Session ID (SID) management. While authenticating a user, the vulnerable
Path Traversal attacks are made possible when access to web content is not properly controlled and the web server is compromised. This is basically an HTTP exploit that gives the hackers unauthorized access to restricted directories. They eventually manipulate the
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an open and vendor-neutral directory service protocol that runs on a layer above the TCP/IP stack. It provides the appropriate mechanism for accessing and modifying data directories, things that are commonly used today while
OS Command Injection attacks occur when the hacker attempts to execute system level commands through a vulnerable web application. These high impact server/application injections help the hacker to bypass administrator privileges and execute malicious OS commands. Just like SQL injections,
CSRF attacks manipulate the inability of the web applications to authenticate user access, putting entire networks at risk. This session-riding, which allows the hacker to use an active session of the victim to perform actions on his behalf without his
Despite security regulations (OWASP Top-10, PCI DSS, HIPPA, MISRA, etc) that are being enforced in the various industrial sectors, privacy violation is still a common occurrence today. Passwords, certificates, credit card details, social security numbers, addresses, mobile numbers and email
SQL Injections, which have been appearing in the OWASP Top-10 for years, are basically unsanitized user input vulnerabilities. These maliciously complied SQL statements are used to illegally communicate with the application’s database for harvesting information, manipulating data and in many
XSS attacks occur when malicious code is injected into trusted/well-known websites. It utilizes the user’s browser as its breeding ground, with the malware being transferred in the form of browser side scripts. XSS payloads trick the victim’s browser into executing
