Whitepaper detailing the Threat Classification system for the Web Application Security Consortium. The Web Security Threat Classification is a cooperative effort to clarify and organize the threats to the security of a web site. The members of the Web Application Security Consortium have created this project to develop and promote industry standard terminology for describing these issues. Application developers, security professionals, software vendors, and compliance auditors will have the ability to access a consistent language for web security related issues.

Security_Breach_Survey.pdf |
Description:

White and Case, a top NYC law firm, posted a survey on Data Security Breach Notifications on September 26, 2005. From the press release: "Victims of personal data security breaches are showing their displeasure by terminating relationships with the companies that maintained their data, according to a new national survey sponsored by global law firm White & Case. The independent survey of nearly 10,000 adults, conducted by the respected privacy research organization Ponemon Institute, reveals that nearly 20 percent of respondents say they have terminated a relationship with a company after being notified of a security breach."

NISR-AntiBruteForce.pdf |
Description:
|
Authentication processes in web-based applications are frequently vulnerable to automated brute force guessing attacks. Whilst commonly proposed solutions make use of escalating time delays and minimum lockout threshold strategies, these tend to prove ineffectual in real attacks and may actually promote additional attack vectors. Resource metering through client-side computationally intensive "electronic payments" can provide an alternative strategy in defending against brute force guessing attacks. This whitepaper discusses how such a solution works and the security advantages it can bring.

Description:
|
This paper describes several techniques for exposing file contents using the site search functionality. It is assumed that a site contains documents which are not visible/accessible to external users. Such documents are typically future PR items, or future security advisories, uploaded to the website beforehand. However, the site is also searchable via an internal search facility, which does have access to those documents, and as such, they are indexed by it not via web crawling, but rather, via direct access to the files. Therein lies the security breach.
