INTRODUCTION The internet has had a major effect on human lives. It has not only revolutionized communication but has vastly influenced how we live our daily lives. The accessibility and use of web applications have made them indispensable. The more we rely on web applications the more crucial it becomes to keep a check on the threats and vulnerabilities these applications are susceptible to since malicious intentions have TI - Web Application Security Threats and Analysis of Vulnerability Scanners JF - International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology DO - 10.22214/ijraset.2021.33410 DA - 2021-03-31 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/web-application-security-threats-and-analysis-of-vulnerability-fNb8M6xnG8 DP - DeepDyve ER -
