3. SQL Injection Attack:
Most of the prominent data breaches that occur
today have been the outcomes of an SQL
Injection attack, which has led to regulatory penalties
and reputational damages. An effective SQL
Injection attack can lead to unapproved access to
delicate data, including credit card information, PINs,
or other private information regarding a customer.

4. Cross-Site Scripting
(XSS) Attack:
This attack disrupts the interaction between users and
vulnerable applications. It is based on client-side code
injection. The attacker inserts malicious scripts into a
legit application to alter its original intention.

5. Web parameter tampering attack is based on the
manipulation of parameters exchanged between
client and server in order to modify application data,
such as user credentials and permissions, price and
quantity of products, etc.
Parameter Tampering

6. File path traversal is also known as directory traversal or
backtracking. The primary objective of this web application
attack is to access files and directories which are not placed
under the ‘root directory’.
Directory Traversal

7. It is a type of cyberattack that occurs when an attacker
seeks to render a computer or other networks inaccessible
to its authorized users by momentarily or permanently
interrupting the normal operations of a host linked to the
Internet.
Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attack
DoS

8. Session hijacking is an attack over user
sessions by masquerading as an authorized
user. It is generally applicable to browser
sessions and web applications hacking. You can
understand session hijacking as a form of Man-
in-the-Middle (MITM) attack.
Session Attack:

9. Cross site request forgery — also known as CSRF or
XSRF — is one of the web-related security threats on
the OWASP top-ten list. The main principle behind a
CSRF attack is exploitation of a site’s trust for a
particular user, clandestinely utilizing the user’s
authentication data.
