Problem Statement

These days web application are being extensively used over the internet which also indirectly gives the invitation to the attackers to hack the websites and retrieve confidential information and data. The vulnerabilities of the web application let the attackers intrude to servers or can even get inside the network environments. Attackers then can exploit the web sites with different attacks and can cause heavy damage to the owners of the website or the corporate holders. In this situation, the owners of the website have to stay updated all times so that they can fight against the vulnerabilities of the websites. However it also gets very difficult to protect the websites against zero- day exploits which are newly developed and invented.
