What is the diffrence between web application and web based application.
I found it in this article:
The Web Hacking Incident Database only tracks media reported security incidents that can be associated with a web application security vulnerability.... The database does not include known vulnerabilities in web based applications, an area well covered by other databases
Can some one help? Thanks
Web Application:
A Web application (Web app) is an application program that is stored on a remote server and delivered over the Internet through a browser interface.
Web based application:
An application in which all or some parts of the software are downloaded from the Web each time it is run. It may refer to browser-based apps that run within the user's Web browser, or to "rich client" desktop apps that do not use a browser or to mobile apps that access the Web for additional information.
