URL manipulation is one of the many ways to launch a Web application attack. And yet, they (location bars) are required to enable customers, partners, and hackers to view your website. URL’s are used to uniquely identify the location of a Web page or on-line resource. When traveling from one Web page to the next, the displayed URL is updated. URLs, also referred to as links, are commonly embedded in Web pages to click on to visit other pages. URLs also tell us a lot about a website. They tell us what type of communication they expect, what type of operating system they run, the type of Web application code is being used, and more. We’ll be exploring the anatomy of URLs closely in the following section and we’ll look at how each section can be vulnerable to attack.
