• Question 133:

  Hackers today have an ever-increasing list of weaknesses in the web application structure at their disposal, which they can exploit to accomplish a wide variety of malicious tasks.

  

  New flaws in web application security measures are constantly being researched, both by hackers and by

  security professionals. Most of these flaws affect all dynamic web applications whilst others are dependent on specific application technologies. In both cases, one may observe how the evolution and refinement of web technologies also brings about new exploits which compromise sensitive databases, provide access to theoretically secure networks, and pose a threat to the daily operation of online businesses. What is the biggest threat to Web 2.0 technologies?

  A. SQL Injection Attacks

  B. Service Level Configuration Attacks

  C. Inside Attacks

  D. URL Tampering Attacks

  Correct Answer: D
