Tools for Anomaly and Failure Detection in Web Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Web applications have become crucial components of our life. However, research studies claim that the experienced quality and reliability of Web applications is often poor or not satisfactory. Evaluation tools are expected to give an important contribution to the improvement of Web applications. Unfortunately, the functionalities offered by available (commercial and research) tools are often limited. Aim of our previous work was to define and implement two tools (ReWeb and TestWeb) able to provide some novel, interesting analyses and testing techniques. In this paper, ReWeb and TestWeb are presented and used to find some anomalies and failures in four case studies. At the end of the paper a list of analysis and testing tools for Web applications is considered and confronted with ReWeb and TestWeb.

Anomaly-based Web Attack Detection: The Application of Deep Neural Network Seq2Seq With Attention Mechanism
Today, the use of the Internet and Internet sites has been an integrated part of the people’s lives, and most activities and important data are in the Internet websites. Thus, attempts to intrude into these websites have grown exponentially. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) of web attacks are an approach to protect users. But, these systems are suffering from such drawbacks as low accuracy in ...
متن کاملProtecting a Moving Target: Addressing Web Application Concept Drift
Because of the ad hoc nature of web applications, intrusion detection systems that leverage machine learning techniques are particularly well-suited for protecting websites. The reason is that these systems are able to characterize the applications’ normal behavior in an automated fashion. However, anomaly-based detectors for web applications suffer from false positives that are generated whene...
متن کاملReducing errors in the anomaly-based detection of web-based attacks through the combined analysis of web requests and SQL queries
Web-based applications have become a popular means of exposing functionality to large numbers of users by leveraging the services provided by web servers and databases. The wide proliferation of custom-developed web-based applications suggests that anomaly detection could be a suitable approach for providing early warning and real-time blocking of application-level exploits. Therefore, a number...
متن کاملImpact of linear dimensionality reduction methods on the performance of anomaly detection algorithms in hyperspectral images
Anomaly Detection (AD) has recently become an important application of hyperspectral images analysis. The goal of these algorithms is to find the objects in the image scene which are anomalous in comparison to their surrounding background. One way to improve the performance and runtime of these algorithms is to use Dimensionality Reduction (DR) techniques. This paper evaluates the effect of thr...
متن کاملAn IPS for Web Applications
This work presents an IPS for web applications that combines anomaly detection, misuse detection, and a prevention module. This approach provides us a solution that produce a number of false positives and false negatives less than traditional solutions. The proposed system is also able to update the misuse and anomaly model according to feedback received by the security manager. Finally, in our...
