The present work shows in its introduction to the importance of information security in the current environment of digital culture, especially after the occurred on September 11, 2001 in the United States. The subject involves not only information technology-related companies but can verify this concern in the daily life of the companies and therefore specific laws Governments. This can be verified in building distributed systems (including operating systems and managerial), in the infrastructure of networks of companies and organizations and web sites. This study analyzes the mechanism of the servers of Internet pages because many attacks exploit these vulnerabilities. Programming of web sites (mainly dynamic content) can also be used to circumvent the security and enable an occurrence of illegal access. Programmers should note some important features to avoid the predatory action of invaders, because no one can build web sites without taking into account the hosting and the creation of source code which is intended to reduce the vulnerability of the system to a minimum acceptable. Finally, comments on the ten most common types of vulnerabilities to be observed when making web sites according to the OWASP (The Open Web Application Security Project) aims to create awareness about security in programming sites.
