dc.description.abstract	Web applications are vulnerable by nature because they are available 2417 and can be accessed from anywhere. Countermeasures should be taken to prevent hackers from launching any attack. In this study, the worst Web vulnerabilities are demonstrated and corresponding solutions are proposed. These vulnerabilities include SQL injections, hard-coded constants, and parameter tampering. New techniques, such as Fake Passwords and Efficient Exposed Encryption, are introduced. This document is rich in terms of best practices in the context of Web development.	en_US
