Cyberpulse Nexus: Monitoring Web Application Threats

In recent times, use of web and web-based tech- nologies have become more popular. The web applications are the most common interface for security-sensitive information and functionality available. As web applications are sources of sensitive data, they are prone to vast numbers of web-based attacks. The majority of these attacks happen because of vulner- abilities resulting from input validation problems. Although these vulnerabilities are easy to understand and mitigate, many web developers are unaware of these security aspects. Which results in more vulnerable web applications on the Internet. Among these, the most prominent vulnerabilities are SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting (XSS). We researched a system which will scan the web application for the most frequent vulnerabilities in an automated manner. Our system detects flaws in web applications and presents a comprehensive report.
