      Introduction to Exploiting Web Applications
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    The below linked document lists some of today's hacking techniques that
    are being used against web servers and web applications. The document
    includes details on the following techniques: Cross-Site Scripting, Cookie
    Manipulation, '<?' Method, ';' Method, '|' Method, '%00' Method, '%20'
    Method, and Directory Traversal.

    DETAILS

    Introduction:
    The most common attacks that we all know of are discussed in this chapter.
    Hackers exploit web vulnerabilities that most have little or no control
    over. The most common web server vulnerabilities exist within Microsoft
    Internet Information Server (IIS), Sun ONE Java web server, Apache and a
    few other web servers.

    Hackers will research the most common and widely used web server to find
    remotely exploitable vulnerabilities to gain root or full system access.
    The reason for this is that, when a remotely exploitable bug is found,
    this enables hackers to use their malicious exploit code on thousands, if
    not millions of hosts in which to comprise.
