As more and more sensitive data is available over the internet hackers are becoming more interested in such data revealing which can cause massive damage. SQL injection is one of such attacks. This attack can be used to infiltrate the database of any web application that may lead to alteration of database or disclosing importantinformation.

Cross site scripting is one more attack in which attacker obfuscates the input given to the web application that may lead to changes in view of the web page.
