Today web applications are becoming the prime target for cyber-attacks. Web attacks are growing in numbers, with most of organizations in a broad survey reporting that they had recently suffered Web attacks.Last few years have shown a significant increase in the number of web-based attacks. Structured Query Language (SQL) injection, Cross Site Scripting (XSS), Insecure Direct Object Reference, Command Injection, Session manipulation and Parameter or URL Tempering are some of the major attacks which are application layer attacks. This paper demonstrates how attackers are discovered, exploit application-level vulnerabilities in a large number of web applications and present the different techniques to prevent web application attacks. Using this research paper researcher can examine how web application firewall is better technique for preventing web application vulnerability. This approach allows us to secure our web application.
