Recently, the security threat on web application is increasing rapidly and especially open source web applications are becoming
popular target of web server hacking. And more there was a worm which spread via web application vulnerabilities. Web application
attack uses the vulnerability not in web server itself, but in structural, logical, and code errors. The majority of flaws
in web applications are caused by absence of the user input validation. But, it is difficult to detect various abnormal user
inputs by pattern matching method. In this paper, we propose the web application securing proxy based on profiling which can
be constructed by learning usual normal activity. The proposed proxy system can detect and filter out attacker’s abnormal
requests via anomaly detection mechanism.
