AJAX, short for asynchronous javascript and XML, is one of the "in" web technologies at the moment. Although it is currently being utilized in a wide variety of ways, it's original intended method was simply sending data and retrieving responses without waiting for a page to reload. We're going to take a step back to the time where that was all it was used for.

More and more Ajax developers are choosing JSON for their data transfer instead of XML. Although XML has been the pillar of Ajax (X is for XML), JSON has become the choice of most developers because it was particularly built for JavaScript. Compared to XML, JSON is lighter and will work faster compared to XML. This lightweight function enables Ajax based websites and applications to run faster.

Cross Site Script or XSS is one of the popular methods for attacking not only to Ajax based websites but almost any other website that accepts user inputs. Even before Ajax was conceptualized, this attack was already practiced by different hackers. There was one hack that was used in 2005 wherein MySpace.com was targeted. It uses a simple JavaScript function that could be embedded in user’s website and others. Once they view the webpage, the “My Hero” link is changed to the name of the hacker. It is practically a pyramid hack since anyone who sees the profile became the host of the hack. The code was actually posted by the builder of the hack in possible reparation for what he did. It is just a simple JavaScript that could be embedded in any website. It just does not hack any information, it practically takes over every function it wants to.

One of the biggest challenges of any developer is to enable the webpage to all visitors as fast as possible. Unfortunately, our knowledge always precedes our available technology. Although we can create very interactive websites with the ability to watch videos while having to look for information on the webpage itself, it requires advanced technologies that every one cannot afford.

Thanks to open-source, One can have practically everything for free in a computer. Although some advises against this because of possible viruses and spywares, you just have to look for a trusted source while sticking to your firewalls and anti-viruses to ensure you have a good program.

Apart from being used in complicated RIAs with colorful interfaces, Ajax is also used for a more practical use such as data control and interaction. There are functions that any developer could use to display data in an Ajax way which does not only look good but has efficient functions which could not be seen in HTML based sites.

When an Ajax based website performs a function, it is not just the server the sees the source code, everyone will have the ability to see the information. With the source code, hackers can easily go further and go right directly to the server. That even goes to the information that can only be accessed by web administrator. Even without the admin username and password, hackers could easily bypass this authorization requirement and go directly to the information found in the server.

The biggest problem for any Ajax based developer is the transparency of the source code. To understand this let us take a look at different online applications that runs in a different language. An HTML application for example will only show you a source code with the input box and nothing else. That information is useless for hackers since it just translates a very small part of what they see.
