 * WebInjects (aka Man-in-the-Browser) Files that contain JavaScript and HTML in order to alter the user experience in the application.
 * Form-Grabbing The technique for capturing web form data within browsers.
 * Session Hijacking The ability to redirect control of a session to an attacker.
 * Persistence and Stealth How does the malware go undetected, for so long?
 * Countermeasures How to detect malware interacting with your web applications.
