Web Application Security
Cybercrime today ranges from stealing data to taking over access and even banking fraud, so it can be said that web application security is a must for every user. Web application security deals with the securing of websites and web applications — it’s application security for the internet.

Why Web Application Security Is Needed
All websites today face security risks, and misuse can happen very easily. Web security is about two major things — internal data and interaction with visitors — and the data stored internally from visitor interactions must be protected from being exploited.
Major Threats for Your Web Applications
Vulnerability — this is nothing but a weakness in the web application.
URL Manipulation — also called URL rewriting, it’s the process of altering parameters in a URL.
SQL Injection — the injection of malicious SQL statements which the attacker then executes. The logic is simple: when a user enters data into an application, they can craft data that gets executed as a SQL query instead of being treated as data.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) — a security vulnerability found in most web applications, allowing attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
How to Dodge These Threats
Firewall — always consider a web application firewall (WAF) to destroy harmful malicious data; good software is essential to protect your web application.
Website Testing — an application security audit deals with the security risks of your web applications, covering both internal components and external components accessible through the internet.
Penetration Testing — the process of testing an application’s security by simulating an attack like a hacker would, analyzing the system for any weaknesses or vulnerabilities.

Wfuzz — a free, open source tool for penetration testing.
Nikto and Watobo — also good tools for performing security checks.
