Which attack occurs when the attacker is able to browse for directories and files outside the normal application access?

Directory traversal.

Directory traversal (path traversal) happens when the attacker is in a position to read files on the online server outside of the directory of the website. Properly controlling access to an online page is crucial for running a secure web server. Directory traversal or Path Traversal is an HTTP attack that enables attackers to access restricted directories and execute commands outside of the online server’s root directory.

With a system at risk of directory traversal, an attacker can make use of this vulnerability to get out of the foundation directory and access other parts of the classification system. This might give the attacker the power to look at restricted files, which could provide the attacker with more information required to further compromise the system.

Therefore it all depends on what the website user has been given access to within the system. Apart from vulnerabilities within the code, even the net server itself will be receptive to directory traversal attacks. the matter can either be incorporated into the net server software or inside some sample script files left available on the server.  

while you may be employing a web server software version that has fixed this vulnerability, you would possibly still have some sensitive default script directories exposed which are well-known to hackers. The best thanks to check whether your website and web applications are prone to directory traversal attacks are by employing a Web Vulnerability Scanner.

To answer the question, "did the program work?" researchers rely on which form of evaluation research?
Nady [450]
The correct answer is impact analysis

<span>Impact analysis refers to research that evaluates how successful or effective a given program was in bringing about some type of desired result or change. For instance, let's assume that a high school decided to make homework submissions digital rather than through written submissions, in order to motivate students to do their homework more regularly. Following this, an impact analysis would be able to evaluate whether digitizing homework submissions did in fact increase the frequency of students' homework submissions.</span>
