Visit the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Web site to research Web application attacks.
Choose one specific type of Web application attack, e.g. brute force, command execution, csrf, file inclusion, SQL Injection (blind), upload, and XSS stored.
Research the attack using information from OWASP and *other* resources (e.g. textbooks, articles, and other Web sites)
Write a plain English summary of what is attacked and how the attack works (write a description of it).
Is your selected attack an attack against confidentiality, integrity, or availability? Explain your answer.
What specific Web application vulnerability is attacked? (Hint: look for a Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE) number for the attack.)
Your response must be 150+ words and include APA format in-text citations and references.
Research advanced persistent threats (APT). Then, answer the following questions:
What is an APT?
How does this class of threat differ from other types of attacks against information and information systems?
What characteristics of an APT make it difficult if not impossible to detect and remove the piece-parts of an APT from a network and the information systems connected to that network?
