The global internet technology is advancing every single minute and therefore we see that new web applications are being launched every single day where new options and features are added to the web applications that let us do more with the same technology that we have. Today, web applications are more popular because of the different browsers that we use and the way in which these latest web applications merge with the different browsers that are currently in the market. Hence, the developers do not need to distribute these web applications individually instead they can make use of the internet and people can make use of these web applications through their browsers.

Though you can always say that traditional firewalls are a good means of securing web applications but in this world of web development you cannot give any chance to any of your users and therefore the best way to secure your web applications is to authenticate. Of course, this sounds a bit too much but if you are really concerned about your web applications than you cannot trust any of your users because you will never know which user might break in the security and threaten the application.

Keep the vital information of your web applications safe and secure. Intruders often learn about new web applications through various web servers and than attack it. Make sure that the information you are passing on to your users is limited and does not reveal much about the technology you are using. You can delete all your personal information from WHOIS records and that would certainly work in your favor. You can even remove the server header from your web server’s response so that none of the information is passed on. Similarly you can also remove all the names and comments from your network to prevent any intruders from hacking into your web application security.

One best way you can keep the hackers guessing is by misguiding them to a different server. Hackers normally follow the information they extract from the server and from your web applications. Imagine if the information they extract from your web application misguides them to the wrong server. In that case they will never be able to track your web application. You can randomize the network and the HTTP server signatures in response packets so that they never find the right IP address. You can change your administrator name in the comment and network records. You can change it to any fake name which you think will keep them guessing. If you want you can play smart by telling them that you are already dead by sending them 500 Server Error. In these cases, the hackers would certainly get confused or misguided and would better leave your web application as it is. However, you need to make sure that no matter whatever tricks you do to escape them you need to be ready for their attack as they will throw a lot of codes to make you speak up.
