Book: Web Application Vulnerabilities And Prevention

Web Application Vulnerabilities And Prevention

About The Book:

The web application security book is divided into eight chapters. The first chapter gives a general introduction to web application security.

The second chapter explains input validation-based vulnerabilities, such as SQL Injection, XSS, Command Injection, CRLF Injection, Log Injection, XPath Injection, Function Injection, PHP Object Injection, and Regular expression-based vulnerabilities.

The third chapter deals with session management-based vulnerabilities. It explains Session Prediction, Session Sniffing, Session Fixation, XSS, etc.

The fourth chapter deals with XML-based vulnerabilities. It explains the Billion Laughs vulnerability, Quadratic Blowup vulnerability, XEE, XML Injection vulnerability, etc.

The fifth chapter explains file uploads, file inclusions, and related vulnerabilities. It also explains the Path Traversal vulnerability, Remote File Inclusion, and Local File Inclusion vulnerabilities.

The sixth chapter explains password and authentication-based vulnerabilities. It explains Credential Stuffing, Pass The Hash vulnerability, QRL Jacking, CSRF, Execution After Redirect vulnerability, etc.

The seventh chapter explains vulnerabilities based on cross-domain resource sharing and various HTTP security headers and how they help improve web application security.

The eighth chapter explains buffer overflow vulnerabilities. It provides examples and explains how to prevent them.

Calculate the pseudoinverse of a matrix using Python

What is the pseudoinverse of a matrix? We know that if A is a square matrix with full rank, then A-1 is said to be the inverse of A if the following condition holds: $latex AA^{-1}=A^{-1}A=I $ The pseudoinverse or the Moore-Penrose inverse of a matrix is a...

Cholesky decomposition using Python

What is Cholesky decomposition? A square matrix A is said to have Cholesky decomposition if it can be written as a product of a lower triangular matrix and its conjugate transpose. $latex A=LL^{*} $ If all the entries of A are real numbers, then the conjugate...

Tensor Hadamard Product using Python

In one of our previous articles, we already discussed what the Hadamard product in linear algebra is. We discussed that if A and B are two matrices of size mxn, then the Hadamard product of A and B is another mxn matrix C such that: $latex H_{i,j}=A_{i,j} \times...

Perform tensor addition and subtraction using Python

We can use numpy nd-array to create a tensor in Python. We can use the following Python code to perform tensor addition and subtraction. import numpy A = numpy.random.randint(low=1, high=10, size=(3, 3, 3)) B = numpy.random.randint(low=1, high=10, size=(3, 3, 3)) C =...

How to create a tensor using Python?

What is a tensor? A tensor is a generalization of vectors and matrices. It is easily understood as a multidimensional array. For example, in machine learning, we can organize data in an m-way array and refer it as a data tensor. Data related to images, sounds, movies,...

How to combine NumPy arrays using horizontal stack?

We can use the hstack() function from the numpy module to combine two or more NumPy arrays horizontally. For example, we can use the following Python code to combine three NumPy arrays horizontally. import numpy A = numpy.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]) B =...

How to combine NumPy arrays using vertical stack?

Let’s say we have two or more NumPy arrays. We can combine these NumPy arrays vertically using the vstack() function from the numpy module. For example, we can use the following Python code to combine three NumPy arrays vertically. import numpy A = numpy.array([[1, 2,...

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) using Python

What is Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)? Let A be an mxn rectangular matrix. Using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD), we can decompose the matrix A in the following way: $latex A_{m \times n}=U_{m \times m}S_{m \times n}V_{n \times n}^T $ Here, U is an mxm matrix....

Eigen decomposition of a square matrix using Python

Let A be a square matrix. Let’s say A has k eigenvalues λ1, λ2, ... λk. And the corresponding eigenvectors are X1, X2, ... Xk. $latex X_1=\begin{bmatrix} x_{11} \\ x_{21} \\ x_{31} \\ ... \\ x_{k1} \end{bmatrix} \\ X_2=\begin{bmatrix} x_{12} \\ x_{22} \\ x_{32} \\ ......

How to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors using Python?

In our previous article, we discussed what eigen values and eigenvectors of a square matrix are and how we can calculate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a square matrix mathematically. We discussed that if A is a square matrix, then $latex (A- \lambda I) \vec{u}=0...
