Aggregating Static and Dynamic Methodologies For PHP Application Security Assessment

In recent years, focus of business world has been moved towards the Internet. Web applications provide a generous interface non-stop thus offering to malicious users a wide spectrum of possible attacks. Consequently, the security of web applications has become a crucial issue. The state-of-the-art tools for bug discovery in languages used for web-application development, such as PHP, suffer from a relatively high false- positive rate and low coverage of real errors; this is caused mainly by non-precise modeling of dynamic features of such languages and path-insensitivity of the tools. In this project, we will demonstrate Lacunae of the current tools and implement a novel approach to address these issues. We will show how our technique handles some of the situations where other tools fail and illustrate it on examples.

A Study of Attack on PHP and Web Security

Hypertext pre-processor (PHP), a server side scripting language very often used to develop a web application. Web application has a big importance in communication over internet. Web applications got very fast growth in past some time. To pay bills, shopping, transactions, emails, social networking every days billions of users using these web application on in internet. Though web applications are very effective and time saving still security threats is also there. Now a day’s most of the application facing problem of security and data integrity. This study is to give different types possible attacks on web application which is developed by using php and how we anticipate such attack and prevent from them for future.

Study on Security Breaches in Php Applications

Php-based applications are one of the most dominant platforms for delivering information and services over Internet today. As they are mostly used for critical services, php-based applications become a common and direct target for security attacks. Although there are larger number of techniques have been developed to strengthen php-based applications and mitigate the attacks toward php-based applications, there is very slight effort committed to drawing connections among these techniques and building a big picture of php-based application security research. This paper surveys the area of php-based application security, with the aim of systemizing the already implemented techniques into a picture that promotes future research. I present the unique aspects in the php-based application development which bring underlying challenges for building secured php-based applications. Finally, summarizes the lessons instructed and discuss future research opportunities in the area of php security.

A hybrid analysis framework for detecting web application vulnerabilities

2009 ICSE Workshop on Software Engineering for Secure Systems, 2009

Increasingly, web applications handle sensitive data and interface with critical back-end components, but are often written by poorly experienced programmers with low security skills. The majority of vulnerabilities that affect web applications can be ascribed to the lack of proper validation of user's input, before it is used as argument of an output function. Several program analysis techniques were proposed to automatically spot these vulnerabilities. One particularly effective is dynamic taint analysis. Unfortunately, this approach introduces a significant run-time penalty.

Defensive Programming to Reduce PHP Vulnerabilities

Incremental and rapid growth has been observed in Web Application's tools and techniques. But most available Web Applications are vulnerable to attacks due to their ad hoc nature. It is difficult to evaluate security achievements unless things go wrong. The primary concern of falsehood programmer is to provide user-friendly interfaces and security is the secondary. Poor written code for Web Application present a very high risk and an attractive target for the attacker. Defensive Programming is the approach to develop secure Web Applications. The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, to understand PHP vulnerabilities, an attack tree has been constructed and based on the attack tree, attack scenarios for email spoofing, remote file creation, remote file inclusion and information disclosure are presented. Secondly, Defensive programming techniques are applied to handle these vulnerabilities. The work presented in this paper shall be helpful for web programmer to develop fool proof...

Web Application Vulnerabilities: A Survey

International Journal of Computer Applications, 2014

In the last few years, the discovery of World Wide Web (WWW) has grown very much. Today, WWW applications are routinely utilized in security critical environments, like ecommerce, medical, financial, and military systems etc. WWW systems are an organization of infrastructure elements, like web databases and servers, and application-specific code, such as HTML scripts and CGI programs etc. While the core elements are usually developed by knowledgeable programmers with valid security skills this ensuing vulnerable web-based applications and accessible to the complete web, creating easilyabusing access points for the conciliation of entire networks. During this paper, we survey the current approaches to internet vulnerability analysis and that we propose a classification along two characterizing: detection and prevention model and study these methods. Furthermore we describe the foremost regular attacks in contrast to web-based applications and explore the effectiveness of sure analysis techniques in characteristic specific categories of flaws.
