Abstract

With the rapid growth of internet all type of services are available online to decrease the user efforts and to make every task easy. A variety of web applications are available for these activities. Web applications contain confidential data of organizations and databases or other information sources. It can be attacked by attackers or hackers, if there are any vulnerabilities present in the web application. So, there is a need to implement security approaches and algorithms to detect the web vulnerabilities. This paper presents a Hybrid algorithm to detect web application vulnerabilities. The proposed hybrid algorithm, KMPS is a combination of Sunday search algorithm and KMP string matching algorithm. KMPS consists of shifting steps and matching steps to detect the attacks and is compared with the existing BM pattern matching algorithm. The results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than BM pattern matching algorithm in context of searching time, accuracy and throughput.
