Using web application through internet communication has become an important part of our lives.Every day we interact with a large number of custom-built web applications that been implemented using different technologies.Prior to the introduction of web standards, developers faced the problem of browser incompatibility.The highly heterogeneous nature of the web with its different implementation languages, encoding standards, browsers and scripting environments makes it difficult for web application developers to properly secure their applications and stay up-to-date with emerging threats and newly discovered attacks.Web vulnerabilities assessment tools have become a necessity due to the increased security threats posed by hackers and other criminals who are on the lookout for confidential information.In this research, we proposed web assessment tool called SNEAKERZ that detected vulnerability and automatically analyzed exploitable web vulnerabilities and proposed solutions for that vulnerability.Our proposed solutions looked for security loopholes in web applications to prevent hackers from gaining unauthorized access to corporate information and data.
