Review the attacks listed on the OWASP website, located at https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:Attack.  Focus on selecting three attacks that you believe to be the greatest  security threat, rank what you believe to be the top three greatest  security threats (e.g., cookie/session poisoning, platform exploits,  etc.), and provide a rationale for your rankings. Explain the key  inherent dangers of the chosen threats, and indicate the key reasons why  you believe such threats pose more of a risk than other current ones in  existence. Justify your answer. 
Review the attacks listed on the OWASP website, located at https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:Attack.  Focus on selecting three attacks that you believe to be the greatest  security threat, rank what you believe to be the top three greatest  security threats (e.g., cookie/session poisoning, platform exploits,  etc.), discuss the appropriate countermeasures that security personnel  could utilize in order to minimize the damage of such threats. Determine  whether or not the countermeasures that you have ranked are reactive or  proactive in nature, and suggest the primary ways in which each  countermeasure could assist in preventing further damage from the  threats in question. Explain whether or not honeypots would assist in  protecting and evaluating the three threats selected. Provide a  rationale for your response.
