Abstract: A web application is generally known as a client-server software application where the client uses a user interface within a web browser. Web applications today provide a universal way to access information over the internet. Since the use of web application are increasing it became a popular target for security attacks. Security vulnerabilities in web applications may result in stealing of confidential data, breaking of data integrity or affecting web application availability. Thus, the task of securing web applications is not only important but also needs immediate attention. Some of well-known web application vulnerabilities are SQL Injection, Buffer Overflow, Cross Site Scripting etc. In order to overcome these vulnerabilities, it is important to detect first the problem before preventing it. In this paper, different types of web application attack which are vulnerable to the web application have been discussed. Furthermore, several techniques for detection of web application related attacks are presented.
