Description: Web application hacking refers to the act of exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications with the aim of gaining unauthorized access to data or systems. This type of hacking can be carried out by malicious attackers as well as by cybersecurity professionals seeking to identify and mitigate risks. Web applications are critical components of modern digital infrastructure, and their security is essential to protect sensitive information of users and organizations. Vulnerabilities can arise from various sources, such as coding errors, misconfigurations, or flaws in application logic. Hackers may employ various techniques, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and brute force attacks, to exploit these weaknesses. In the context of cybersecurity, web application hacking is often classified into two categories: Red Team and Blue Team. The Red Team simulates real attacks to assess the security of an application, while the Blue Team is responsible for defending and protecting the infrastructure against these attacks. This attack and defense dynamic is crucial for improving the security of web applications and ensuring data protection in an increasingly complex digital environment.
