abstract = {Al giorno d'oggi siamo sempre più circondati da dispositivi interconnessi tra loro, i quali sono costantemente esposti ad attacchi informatici. In questo elaborato, dopo aver introdotto l'Internet of Things e i suoi molteplici ambiti applicativi, verrà svolta un'attenta analisi dei rischi e delle sfide riguardanti la cybersecurity che le aziende 4.0 dovranno affrontare.
Verranno proposte delle possibili soluzioni attraverso l'impiego di tecnologie sempre più sofisticate ed innovative.},

abstract = {During the past decade, web applications have become the most prevalent way for service delivery over the Internet. As they get deeply embedded in business activities and required to support sophisticated functionalities, the design and implementation are becoming more and more complicated. The increasing popularity and complexity make web applications a primary target for hackers on the Internet. According to Internet Live Stats up to February 2019, there is an enormous amount of websites being attacked every day, causing both direct and significant impact on huge amount of people.
Even with support from security specialist, they continue having troubles due to the complexity of penetration procedures and the vast amount of testing case in both penetration testing and code reviewing. As a result, the number of hacked websites per day is increasing.
The goal of this thesis is to summarize the most common and critical vulnerabilities that can be found in a web application, provide a detailed description of them, how they could be exploited and how a cybersecurity tester can find them through the process of penetration testing.
To better understand the concepts exposed, there will be also a description of a case of study: a penetration test performed over a company's web application.},
