GSO: Cost effective web development in India to serve all around the world

Web development in India is shining well like anything. It has created lucrative job opportunities for Indian web designers and web developers. In recent years this industry has generated good money for Indian web experts. The main aim of designing web applications in India is its massive English speaking population, trained man power, guts to take risky tasks by Indian web experts and cost effectiveness of Indian web development packages. Web development companies in India provide price effective, customized and internet driven web solutions to offshore clients. They offer fully customized web applications by using interactive programs like Java, C++, XML, .Net, VB, AJAX, ASP, PHP and ASP.Net.

During recent years Indian web development companies have expanded well in international web designing industry. These companies are having a firm technical background. They have the ability to impart sufficient time for software projects owned by abroad and local clients. Web development experts of India have a deep understanding of business objectives laid by offshore clients. For this reason they maintain a strong work quality and believe in ethical ways of web designing. Indian web development companies have well developed infrastructure. They use the latest tools for developing web based software applications. Their hardware infrastructure is also appreciable. Web development companies of India work with a full 24 hour power back up. In this way their php development india projects never stop and go on advancing forward.

Web development in India is done by using lucrative means of communication like email, Skype and instant messenger applications of Google, Yahoo and MSN. Team members of Indian web development companies are even using voice chat to communicate with offshore clients. The primary goal of web development in India is to understand and fulfill the business needs of local and abroad clients. As concerning abroad clients, Indian web development companies have developed a long lasting relationship with them. High quality work and delivery within tight deadlines can be attributed to the success of Indian web development companies amidst foreign clients.

It offers services at a cost effective budget. Above all Indian web designers provide scalable tools for doing online marketing after creating value added websites.

Mass SQL Injections Spike Again

Security researchers have reported spikes in mass SQL injection attacks of late that take advantage of very common vulnerabilities in the way that Web applications interact with back-end databases. Particularly targeting ASP, ASP.Net, and MS-SQL sites, these mass SQL injection campaigns have been linked to black hat efforts to redirect victims to browser exploit kits like Blackhole or Phoenix.

"There's been a growing increase on the mass SQL injections side mainly because there is business to be had and money to be made in that area," says Gunter Ollmann, vice president of research for Damballa. "There are a growing number of professional hackers and crime groups that specialize in quick and rapid identification of websites that are vulnerable to SQL injection, and they monetize that by injecting malicious code normally as part of the pay-per-install or the iFrame injection-type business."

Unlike traditional SQL injections, which are generally manual attacks seeking to extract data from commerce sites, mass SQL injection attacks are automated, quick-and-dirty attacks that drop malicious code onto the website.

"Really what this is is a cross-site scripting attack," says Ryan Barnett, senior security researcher for Trustwave SpiderLabs, "just using SQL injection on the front end to inject in JavaScript code that results in sending regular users to a Web page that's dynamically created based on different database components, pulling in malicious JavaScript into the browser that redirects to a malware site."

The mass SQL injection model has been prevalent since 2008, with a considerable uptick last spring during the LizaMoon attacks. According to the recent Zscaler ThreatLabz Q1 State of the Web Report, researchers with ThreatLabz noted a spike in LizaMoon activity back in March.

"A year later, we are still seeing this campaign under way, with various peaks and valleys as the attack adapts over time. We noticed that activity picked back up again in March 2012," the report says.

According to Barnett, the attacks in recent months have a similar M.O., with a slight tweak in the SQL used to conduct the attack.

"They're not doing exactly the same kind of script that they did before," Barnett says. "They are picking different category names, which is often used for these databases, such as the category title, content title, and home page title. So they're targeting title HTML tags when you're dynamically creating those sites. It is kind of sneaky, but they're prepending a closing title HTML tag, so when it gets into the browser, it will cleanly close the title content that was already there and inject in behind to execute that JavaScript."

In April, researchers with F-Secure and Sucuri Security, among others, had brought attention to these attacks, which at that time redirected to the Nikjju.com domain. According to Barnett, malicious activity continues on the back of already injected code, but the domains end users are redirected to remain in flux.

"The infrastructure of what we're highlighting here is in place, the bad guys are using it -- the difference is that all those domains they're sending them to, those are transient and change almost daily," he says. "As we put in IP reputation, domain black listing, and all of those things, then people can't get to those sites, so they have to constantly keep moving. But the infrastructure of exploiting the website and injecting this code, they just keep reusing that until people upgrade their systems."

That brings us to the mitigation efforts for these attacks.

"One is, first and foremost, they have to stay on top of patching processes. That means knowing what applications you're running on your servers," Ollmann says. "And secondly, you need to ensure that your custom applications are designed in a way that even if there is a vulnerability in these back-end systems, that the content is still sanitized and is not projected to visitors of the website."
