You first identified the IP target host, identified known vulnerabilities and exploits, and then attacked the Web application and Web server using XSS and an SQL injection to exploit the Web application using a Web browser and some simple command strings. Lab Assessment Questions & Answers 1. Why is it critical to perform a penetration test on a Web application and a Web server prior to production 7 Perform a Website and Database Attack by Exploiting Identified Vulnerabilities implementation? Penetration testing highlights what a real-world hacker might see if he or she targeted the given organization. The Penetraton test will give a security view in operational context and potential flaws can be discovered so that managment can make decisions about whether to allocated security resources to fix any discover problems. 2. What is a cross-site scripting attack? Explain in your own words. Cross-site scripting enables attackers to inject client-side script into web pages. Cross-site attacks occur when an attacker uses a web applicaiton to send malicious code, denerally in the form of a browser side script, to a different end users.

...The figure 4.6 shows the hits per second which measure the number of HTTP requests made by users to the Web server during each second of the load test scenario run. The low percentage of Hits per Second means the fewer requests the application can handle per second. A virtual client can request an HTML page, image and file, testing the web server for Hits per Second will tell you if there is a possible scalability issue with the application. For example, if the stress on a web server increases but the Hits per Second do not, there may be a scalability problem in the server. It is worth noting that Hits per Second relates to all requests equally. Thus, a request for a small image and complex HTML generated on the fly will both be considered as hits. It is possible that out of a hundred hits on the application, the application server actually answers only one and all the rest were...

...shop, and bank. An information system (IS) is defined by the free dictionary as a set of inter-related components working together to collect, retrieve, process, store, and distribute information in order to facilitate the planning, control, coordination, analysis, and decision making in companies and other organizations. The World Wide Web (WWW) has become the largest sources of information. However, its content cannot be manipulated in a general way because of two main issues: (1) Finding relevant information is a difficult task and (2) the web is unstructured. Search engines such as Altavista, Google, Lycos, and many others offer some form of structure and comfort to users, however, their query facilities are often limited and come in the form of HTML pages. Most of the information present on the web is stored in a HTML format. HTML is a semi-structured format designed to describe and create the layout of the web pages. HTML is not responsible for the content displayed. These factors have initiated a need and desire to develop data mining techniques. In this paper, I will address the problem of extracting data from the web and I will analyze some of the techniques to approach web mining. Web Applications A Web...

...The website that I chose for my analysis is Forever21.com. The foreever21 site is a online store that sells clothing for girls and boys, accessories , plus sizes, shoes. This site also has a blog (The Now Blog) that lets you access fashion, summer events and beauty. This site is pretty well known and when you search for clothing stores this site is on the first page. Immediately upon entering the website you are hit with the products at hand. The navigation seems to be easy for a customer to browse through the site. When I was navigating through the site I realize that it did not have a home shortcut, so you had to use the back button. So, I would change that about the site, the other shortcuts where linked together like we learned in dream weaver. I liked that about the site. When I stated in our capstone question I thought the colors where okay. Now that I go back and look it has to much white in it. I think I would add a little color to it so it is easier on the customers eyes. The font size could be a little larger for me. I would make them a couple of sizes larger for the older customers who can’t see that well. I did like the graphics they are nice and clear to see. I do like that you have a quick view of the product and it shows you different sides of the product. You can click onto another link, but if you want to go back to home you have to hit the back button. Adding products to your cart is pretty simple just click on product and it adds it...

...wide, diverse range of products and services. Some of these will include website design, remote network support, graphic design, photography sessions, and technical support. The web presence is an initial step to introduce the company. Following this, prospective customers will be able to access the website for information about the company and the services offered. Future updates will include the addition of available products made by the company. The site will need to provide information about the company’s qualifications and certifications of the staff, contact information, and information request forms. In anticipation of future growth of the services and products offered, a site template page will need to allow for the creation of additional pages and information. The project is forecast to be completed in three basic phases. The first phase will be to define the content to be initially included on the site by researching other company websites of a similar nature. This will produce a rough draft of the content and page layout for the website. It will also provide a basic template constructed from observations of similar sites, which will act as a starting point. The second phase will be the actual construction of the website pages and template. This will include the purchase of web page creation software and texts to aid in the construction. A minimum...

...Effective Keyword Extraction Method for Videos in Web Pages by Analyzing their Layout Structures Jongwon Lee Chungkang College 162 Chungkang-ro Majang-myun Ichon-si, Gyunggi-do 467-744, Korea Abstract- This paper proposes an effective keyword extraction method for the Web videos by analyzing the structure of the Web pages. The proposed scheme calculates the relative importance (or weights) of the text blocks to a video by analyzing the distances of the text blocks to the video. This distance, called the layout distance, indicates a degree of relevance of text block to video, and could be estimated by analyzing the layout structure of Web pages. Since the Web pages with several videos such as Web pages posting UCC videos have a special layout structure, this layout analysis helps to precisely estimate the relevance of text block to the video. This weight of text block is used to compute the final weights of keywords extracted from that text block by analyzing their HTML tags and other well-known techniques such as TF/IDF. Some experiments with 1,087 Web pages that have total 2,462 videos show that the precision of the proposed extraction scheme is 17% higher than ImageRover[1]. Giseok Choi, Juyeon Jang, and Jongho Nang Sogang University 1 Sinsu-dong Mapo-gu, Seoul 121-742, Korea weights are inverse proportional to the layout distances to the video, however, they are adjusted by reflecting the structural characteristics of Web pages with videos. After assigning the weights to the...
