Relating vulnerability and security service points for web application through penetration testing

Abstract

In last decade, there have been enormous changes in the field of web applications. The phase has shifted from static to dynamic, and fixed layout has now taken the form of responsive layout, due to distribution of processing capabilities from server side to client side, mainly because of rich set of scripts for user interface and making request to server. This leads to reduction in network traffic. This is on the presumption of trustiness on client, eventually creating a web application more vulnerable. This paper will cover importance of each triad of web, mainly security with its service points. This will facilitate a developer to identify which service point is more important with respect to application requirements. It will also apply sufficient security checks at service point in each component of the application.
