However, web application pages support users interacting with the data stored in their website to insert, delete and modify content by making a web site their own space.

These threats could adopt new obfuscation techniques to evade and thwart countermeasures Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). Furthermore, this work explores and discusses the techniques to detect and prevent web application malwar.
