I am new to web application security, a lot of layer 7 application security products detect cross-site scripting attacks (ex: sanctum appshield). How these products do? There is lot of information about crosssite  scripting attacks but I did not came across how these web application attacks can be detected. Is there any white paper there out explaining the generic detection methods? Received on Tue May 13 18:07:55 2003
