A XSS attack detection method based on skip list

In recent years, the destruction of cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks is gradually increasing, but the existing XSS defense methods have some problems, sucli as, complex disposition, low performance, high non-response rates or high rate of false positives. Therefore, it is imminent to establish an efficient XSS defense mechanism. This paper presents a cross-site schpting attacking detection method, which is based on improved algohtlim skip list. It can fulfill the rapid detecnon of cross-site scripting attacks by using some steps, for example, creating a skip list signature, detecting suspicious strings, marking attack vectors and so on. Experiment shows that compared with the tradinonal defense method of XSS attack, the new defense method can reduce the false alarm rate of detection, and improve the time performance effectively.
