I am a web developer that is very conscious of security and try and make my web applications as secure as possible.
How ever I have started writing my own windows applications in C# and when it comes testing the security of my C# application, I am really only a novice.
Just wondering if anyone has any good tutorials/readme's on how to hack your own windows application and writing secure code.
Yes, according to Hazum. “Users should be worried about the data stored inside or accessible to applications. The malicious payload will have the same access as the hosting application. For example, injecting code into a messenger to steal all messages, or send messages on the user's behalf.
Web hacking refers to exploitation of applications via HTTP which can be done by manipulating the application via its graphical web interface, tampering the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) or tampering HTTP elements not contained in the URI.
Some of the most famous hacking tools in the market are Nmap (Network Mapper), Nessus, Nikto, Kismet, NetStumbler, Acunetix, Netsparker, and Intruder, Nmap, Metasploit, Aircrack-Ng, etc.
