Evaluation of web vulnerability scanners
Yuma Makino, Vitaly V. Klyuev · 2015
In recent yeas a lot of web applications have been released in the world. At the same time, cyber attacks against web application vulnerabilities have also increased. In such a situation, it is necessary to make web applications more secure. However checking all web vulnerabilities by hand is very difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, we need a web application vulnerability scanner. In this work, we evaluate two open source vulnerability scanners OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (OWASP ZAP) and Skipfish using vulnerable web applications Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA) and The Web Application Vulnerability Scanner Evaluation Project (WAVSEP).
