  • 사물인터넷(Internet of Things)의 도래와 함께, 무선공유기(wireless access point)들의 보안이 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 연구진은 대부분의 무선공유기들이 제공하는 웹 기반 관리 인터페이스들에 웹 어플리케이션 취약점(web application vulnerability)들이 존재할 수 있다는 점을 착안, 국내 주요 무선공유기들에 대한 웹 어플리케이션 취약점 점검을 수행하였으며, 악용이 가능한 여러 취약점들이 존재함을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 연구진이 무선공유기 대상 웹 어플리케이션 취약점 점검에 보조적으로 사용하기 위하여 개발한 3종의 모바일 앱(mobile app)들을 설명한다.

  • Today, the typical web hacking attacks are cross-site scripting(XSS) attacks, injection vulnerabilities, malicious file execution and insecure direct object reference included. Web hacking security systems, access control solutions, access only to the web service and flow inside but do not control the packet. So you have been illegally modified to pass the packet even if the packet is considered as a unnormal packet. The defense system is to fail to appropriate controls. Therefore, in order to ensure a successful web services diagnostic system development is necessary. Web application diagnostic system is real and urgent need and alternative. The diagnostic system development process mu st be carried out step of established diagnostic systems, diagnostic scoping web system vulnerabilities, web application, analysis, security vulnerability assessment and selecting items. And diagnostic system as required by the web system environment using tools, programming languages, interfaces, parameters must be set.

  • Existing network layer firewall security support is one that does not support the higher layer, the application layer of a vulnerable web application security. Under these circumstances, the vulnerability of web applications to be able to defend a Web Application Firewall is positioned as a solver to solve the important security issues of businesses spotlighted in the next generation of security systems, and a very active market in the market other than domestic is expected to be formed. However, Firewall Web has not yet proposed a standard which can be used to test the performance of the Web Application Firewall Web Application Firewall and select the products of trust hardly Companies in BMT conduct their own individual problems and the cost of performance testing technologies, there is a limit. In this study, practically usable BMT model was developed to evaluate the firewall vendor. Product ratings ISO / IEC 9126, eight product characteristics meet the performance and characteristics of a web application firewall entries are derived. This can relieve the burden on the need to be evaluated in its performance testing of Web firewall, and can enhance the competitiveness of domestic-related sectors, by restoring confidence in the product can reduce the dependence on foreign products.

  • As the most common application development of software development time, error-free quality, adaptability to frequent maintenance, such as the need for large and complex software challenges have been raised. When developing web applications to respond to software reusability, reliability, scalability, simplicity, these quality issues do not take into account such aspects traditionally. In this situation, the traditional development methodology to solve the same quality because it has limited development of new methodologies is needed. Quality of applications the application logic, data, and architecture in the entire area as a separate methodology can achieve your goals if you do not respond. In this study secure coding, the big issue, web application factors to deal with security vulnerabilities, web application architecture, design procedure is proposed. This proposal is based on a series of ISO/IEC9000, a web application architecture design process.

  • Recently, as modern Internet uses mashups, Web 3.0, JavaScript/AJAX widely, the rate at which new vulnerabilities are being discovered is increasing rapidly. It can subsequently introduce big security threats. In order to efficiently mitigate these web application vulnerabilities and security threats, it is needed to rank vulnerabilities based on severity and consider the severe vulnerabilities during a specific phase of software development lifecycle (SDLC) for web applications. In this paper, we have first verified whether the risk rating methodology of OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities is a reasonable one or not by analyzing the vulnerability data of web applications in the US National Vulnerability Database (NVD). Then, by inspecting the vulnerability information of web applications based on OWASP Top-10 2010 list and CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) directory, we have mapped the web-related entries of CWE onto the entries of OWASP Top-10 2010 and prioritized them. We have also presented which phase of SDLC is associated with each vulnerability entry. Using this approach, we can prevent or mitigate web application vulnerabilities and security threats efficiently.

  • As Internet and Internet users are rapidly increasing and getting popularized in the world the existing firewall has limitations to detect attacks which exploit vulnerability of web server. And these attacks are increasing. Most of all, intrusions using web application's programming error are occupying for the most part. In this paper, we introduced real-time web-server agent which analyze web-server based log and detect web-based attacks after the analysis of the web-application's vulnerability. We propose the method using real-time agent which remove Process ID(pid) and block out attacker's If if it detects the intrusion through the decision stage after judging attack types and patterns.

  • For ease of use and access, web browsers are now being used to access and modify sensitive data and systems including critical control systems. Due to their computational capabilities and network connectivity, browsers are vulnerable to several types of attacks, even when fully updated. Browsers are also the main target of phishing attacks. Many browser attacks, including phishing, could be prevented or mitigated by using site-, user-, and device-specific security configurations. However, we discovered that all major browsers expose disparate security configuration procedures, option names, values, and semantics. This results in an extremely hard to secure web browsing ecosystem. We analyzed more than a 1000 browser security configuration options in three major browsers and found that only 13 configuration options had syntactic and semantic similarity, while 4 configuration options had semantic similarity, but not syntactic similarity. We: a) describe the results of our in-depth analysis of browser security configuration options; b) demonstrate the complexity of policy-based configuration of web browsers; c) describe a knowledge-based solution that would enable organizations to implement highly-granular and policy-level secure configurations for their information and operational technology browsing infrastructures at the enterprise scale; and d) argue for necessity of developing a common language and semantics for web browser configurations.

  • Web shells are programs that are written for a specific purpose in Web scripting languages, such as PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, PERL-CGI, etc. Web shells provide a means to communicate with the server's operating system via the interpreter of the web scripting languages. Hence, web shells can execute OS specific commands over HTTP. Usually, web attacks by malicious users are made by uploading one of these web shells to compromise the target web servers. Though there have been several approaches to detect such malicious web shells, no standard dataset has been built to compare various web shell detection techniques. In this paper, we present a collection of web shell files, WebSHArk 1.0, as a standard dataset for current and future studies in malicious web shell detection. To provide baseline results for future studies and for the improvement of current tools, we also present some benchmark results by scanning the WebSHArk dataset directory with three web shell scanning tools that are publicly available on the Internet. The WebSHArk 1.0 dataset is only available upon request via email to one of the authors, due to security and legal issues.

  • Web application security problems are addressed by the web vulnerability analysis which in turn supports companies to understand those problems and to establish their own solutions. Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning (MSIP) has released its guidelines for analysis and assessment of the web vulnerability. Although it is possible to distinguish vulnerability items in a manner suggested in the MSIP's guidelines, MSIP's factors and criteria proposed in the guidelines are neither sufficient nor efficient in analyzing specific vulnerability entries' risks. This study discusses analysis of the domestic and international Vulnerability Scoring system and proposes an appropriate evaluating method for web vulnerability analysis.
