How do I check my application vulnerability?
Security for Everyone
This article will show you how to check your application's vulnerability using three different methods.
- Manually starting a full security check for the application.
- Using a unique vulnerability scanning tool for a web page.
- Using continuous and automated scans
Manually starting a full security check for the whole application.
Web application scanners generally allow you to select attack modules and authentication methods, exclude some URLs and specify the target.
Some scanners will have a "full scan" or "complete scan" option, automatically selecting all the modules for you.
Note that a full scan can take a long time to complete, depending on the size and complexity of your application.
At security for everyone, you can use the Products / OnDemand / Full Scan sections to start a complete scan manually.
1- Add and verify your website from the asset manager.
2 - Go to our marketplace and have Unlimited On-Demand Usage products with the most competitive prices on the market.
3 - Go to the Full Scan page, select your asset and click the start scan button.
A full scan will crawl your web page and check for more than 1800+ vulnerabilities, including web application vulnerabilities, network vulnerabilities, misconfiguration, OWASP Top 10, and much more.
Using a Unique Vulnerability Scanning Tool For a Web Page
Many times you need to check security for just one web page. This can be because the web page is new or has been changed, and you want to ensure it is secure before it goes live.
If you must scan for all vulnerabilities, starting a full security check for web applications is preferable. However, specialized tools can be used if you only need to check a few vulnerabilities on a webpage.
Let's assume you've updated your app, which may impact the security of your site, and its related URL is yourdomain.com/example/page?id=1
.
Here are some free vulnerability checkers you can use for any URLs:
- Generic Command Injection Vulnerability Scanner
- Generic CRLF Injection Vulnerability Scanner
- Generic CSRF Vulnerability Scanner
- Generic SSRF vulnerability scanner
- Generic Open Redirect Vulnerability Scanner
- Generic XXE Vulnerability Scanner
- Online Generic File Inclusion - LFI/RFI Vulnerability Scanner
- Free and Online Generic XSS Scanner
- Online Generic SQL Injection Vulnerability Scanner
- Online Generic Fast SQL Injection Vulnerability Scanner
1- Add and verify your website from the asset manager.
2- Select a scanner, go to detail, write your URL to the Fast Scan section and click the 'Start Scan' button.
It can also be because you want to check
Using Continuous and Automated Scans
Do you know how many new vulnerabilities were published last year? By 2021, over 28,000 vulnerabilities will be disclosed. This means more than 75 new weaknesses were found every day in 2021.
Applications are constantly changing, which can lead to new vulnerabilities.
You must continuously monitor your applications for new security issues to stay ahead of the curve.
Automated security scanning can help you by regularly checking your applications for known vulnerabilities and potential security issues. This way, you can find and fix problems before they become a security incident.
There are many reasons to use continuous and automated security scanning, but here are three of the most important:
1- Save Time: Manually checking your application for vulnerabilities is time-consuming and error-prone. Continuous and automated security scanning can help you speed up the process by doing most of the work for you.
2- Reduce Costs: Continuously using security scans can help you reduce the cost of your application security program. By automating repetitive tasks, you can free up resources to focus on more critical tasks.
3- Improve Accuracy: Automated security scanning can help you improve the accuracy of your scans. Using multiple tools and techniques can find more vulnerabilities than you would with manual testing.
4- Easy to Use: Continuous and automated security scanning is easy. In most cases, you must provide the URL of your application, and the tool will do the rest.
1- Add and verify your website from the asset manager.
2 - Go to our marketplace and have Continuous Security
And spend your time as you please! All necessary security checks will start in a few hours and continuously be scanned for known and new vulnerabilities.
While manual scanning is often considered more accurate, it can also be time-consuming and error-prone. Automated scanning can help you speed up the process by doing most of the work for you and reducing the cost of your application security program. Additionally, automated scanning can improve accuracy by using multiple tools and techniques.
