The IAS Computer also known as Von Neuman Computer was the first-generation computer that was built at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) during 1945-1951 which implemented “stored-program concept” where the instructions and data are stored and accessed from the same electronic memory. IAS was proposed by John von Neumann who was a mathematics professor working at Princeton University…

SQL Injection (SQLi) Attack
SQL Injection (SQli) is an attack technique where the attacker exploits the vulnerability in Web Application of not validating inputs and injects malicious SQL statements into the Relative Databases (RDMS). Web Application is a 3-Tier Architecture. A user accesses the web server and the data from the web server is provided to the application server….
Server-Side Scripting
Server-Side Scripting are the programming languages that execute on the web server when processing the user’s request. They generate the dynamic content as needed by the user’s request. Server-Side Scripting languages are the fundamental components of a Web Application. Examples are PHP, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Java. The following are various activities done by the Server-Side…
Client-Side Scripting
Client-Side scripting refers to the scripts that executes within the user’s web browser rather than on a web server. These scripts are downloaded from the Web Server on the local machine and gives the user the enhanced experience of running dynamic content in their local machine. Examples of client-scripting languages are JavaScript, VBScript, jQuery.
Server Side Technologies
Server Side Technolgies are the technologies, platforms and software that enable Web Content for the users requesting them through their client machines. The core components of Server Side Technologies are as follows: Web Server – The System that host the Web Server which recieves the web request, processes them and gives response to the user….

SQL (Structured query language)
SQL (Structured query language) is a programming language used by Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) for storing, accessing, adding, updating and deleting data. SQL is a declarative language where it tells what to do not how to do. In the 1970s, IBM scientists Donald Chamberlin and Raymond Boyce developed and introduced SQL. It originated from…
Database
A Database is computing system that collects and stores data in an organized and structured manner. A database is managed by Database Management System (DBMS). Applications use database to store and access data. Databases evolved from flat and hierarchical files during 1960s. Flat Database were simple flat like spreadsheet databases that were not structured which…
Web Application Attacks
Web Application is the major application used across the Internet to distribute and access data and hence it’s targeted a lot by attackers. The following are web application attacks: Directory Transversal – Attackers can transverse web directories by exploiting vulnerabilities and access directory that is not supposed to be accessed. Hidden Manipulation – Web Application…
Web Application Threats
Web Applications are the most used applications on the Internet for sharing, distributing and accessing information. There are various threats with respect to Web Applications which are as following: Broken Access – Attackers bypass access control and access information in an un-authorized manner. Cryptographic failures – Cryptography is used to encrypt data. Improper cryptography implementation…
