There are many attacks that can be used against web apps. These attacks would become successful provided if your Website is vulnerable: I will list for you common web apps vulnerabilities: 1. SQLi - SQL Injection 2. XSS - Cross Site Scripting 3. RFi - Remote File Inclusion 4. Directory Transversal 5. DoS - Denial of Service and lots more, but these are the commonest, especially SQLi So it depends on the nature of your Web App. Is it a CMS like Joomla or WordPress or a custom Web App? Was it developed with ASP,PHP, or JSP. Another thing is that, is your website hosted on a secured web server? For Web Penetration Testing, contact kevinran@mail.com |
