Investigations in Cross-site Script on Web-systems Gathering Digital Evidence against Cyber-Intrusions

With the Internet's rapid development, government agencies and other private companies are setting up websites for providing information and marketing. However, computer viruses and hackers are omnipresent on Internet. The injection attacks grew exponentially recently. SQL Injection, ASP Injection, PHP Injection are methods of attacks used. The nation's largest Blog website "Wretch" and the international largest friend's community website "MySpace" were attacked in recent years by Cross-Site Script (XSS) attacks. In this paper, we provide a scheme to know how to collect evidence after suffering XSS attacks from network systems. Furthermore, we give the management strategies to prevent XSS attacks from network intrusions.
