Acunetix to Prevent Hackers

By John Corey


With every boon there is a bane associated with it. While technology has made our lives easier, it also has negative repercussions. Internet is now a part of our lives and almost every thing that we do today is some how or the other connected with the internet revolution. If we have any query we Google it, if we want to communicate some information to someone we email them, if we need to buy something we visit the online shopping stores and the list can go on and on. Such is our dependency on the internet that most of the time we forget to question how reliable it is. If internet is the boon then hackers are the bane associated with it.

Acunetix, the web security company, has been a pioneer in this field of website security and from the time of their inception have been churning out security software to deal with the menace of website and web applications hacking. Their product Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner scans websites and web applications for a wide range of vulnerabilities like SQL injection, cross site scripting, etc. and guarantees security to the users who visit the sites.

Cross site scripting and SQL injection are the two most commonly used web attack mechanisms. Both can easily be incorporated into the codes/scripts of web pages. While the former operates by attaching itself to the web browser of the client who visits the website, the latter gathers information from the server database. Cross site scripting is a menace as the malicious code manipulates the browser of the user and executes it every time the user visits the page. SQL injection is equally malicious as the hackers can easily access the sensitive information and misuse them.

Hackers all over the world are continuously on the prowl to use innovative techniques to gain access to sites. Cross site scripting and SQL injection are the two main important mechanisms used by hackers to gather sensitive information from websites.

Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner is an automated black box scanner developed by Acunetix to deal with the problem of website hacking. The features of this product includes an automatic client script analyzer that allows for Ajax and Web 2.o applications, SQL injection and cross site scripting testing, penetration testing tools such as HTTP Editor and HTTP Fuzzer, report testing and a host of other important features.
