Abstract: E-commerce web applications are on a verge of not providing fair chance to all the consumers. E-commerce can be unfair especially in case of the check-out process as when many business trading corp. are vying for the limited supply item. Web applications security is more of a continuous plight as hackers and crackers are busy being creative avoiding/bypassing the many defensive tools to regulate security. The actuality is that the e-commerce application security is breached when some unethical corp. apply pre-formatted spiders or scripts to place orders. This gives them a very unjust advantage. Thus to rule out the problem i. e. to eliminate spiders/scripts in web applications by using a solution which is impractical to crack with no extra actions by the end user, this paper introduces an very innovative multilayer access to honeypots. This way is technically non-practical to crash or bypass proving secured web application forms.
