What are the two sharp tools and comparative applications of web security testing? in order to solve this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and solutions in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and feasible method.

Security covers a wide range of areas, including network security, system security, database security, WEB security, program security, email security and so on. It can be said that security is an overall feature that overrides many aspects, like the bucket effect, and the shortest board determines the height of water. Any neglected weak link may become a potential danger and a breakthrough for intruders. Now I would like to talk about my own thoughts on WEB safety testing, and I hope you can express your own opinions and learn together.

When it comes to WEB security, let's first talk about WEB services and WEB architecture. Web service refers to the general name of using Bamp S architecture and providing services through Http protocol. This structure is also known as Web architecture. With the development of Web2.0, there have been changes such as separation of data and service processing, service and data distribution, and its interactive performance has also been greatly enhanced. Some people also call it B/S/D three-tier structure. There are two kinds of service data on the Web server that need to be protected in order to ensure "innocence". One is the page file (.html, .xml, etc.), which includes dynamic program files (.php, .asp, .jsp, etc.), which are generally stored in a specific directory of the Web server, or on the middleware server; the other is the background database, such as Oracle, SQL Server, etc., in which the dynamic web page generation of the data is needed, as well as business management data and operation data. Web service is relatively easy to develop, and the level of each technical staff in the development team is uneven. Due to non-standard programming, low security awareness or simplified testing due to the shortage of development time, there are also a lot of vulnerabilities in the application. The most common is SQL injection, which is a vulnerability in most application programming processes.

Reference to the drawings of WEB architecture:

The rapid popularity of the Internet benefits from the simple deployment and development of Web. At the same time, the popularity of the network has also brought the prosperity of WEB applications. With the rapid development of WEB applications, websites have played a very important role in daily life, while many websites suffer from various kinds of vulnerabilities due to WEB application vulnerabilities. 75% of the destructive activities occur in the application layer. For example, the website is suspended, the SQL injection causes the web page to be tampered with, the important data is modified or lost, the website is blacklisted, thus making the host of WEB application become a controlled broiler, and so on. Based on the various loopholes that can be exploited by people, it is impossible to meet the demand by relying solely on the developers' efforts to avoid BUG in the program. Therefore, we need special WEB security testing tools for detection and evaluation, in order to carry out effective defense.

Web security detection is mainly divided into two categories, namely white-box detection and black-box detection. The white box tool finds the problem by analyzing the application source code, while the black box tool reports the problem by analyzing the results of the application running. So how to detect WEB security in an actual project? In order to carry out safety testing quickly and conveniently, I used two sharp detection tools in the project. I would like to give you a comparative introduction here.

1. IBM WEB APPSCAN (hereinafter referred to as AppScan), which is the industry's leading security testing tool for Web applications, which provides functions such as scanning, reporting and repair recommendations. Of course, it is a black box detection tool. It can detect all WEB application layer vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, cross-site scripting, frame phishing, web page * *, etc., and can automatically help you complete the entire professional security assessment and generate professional reports. The scanning process takes a long time, but the interface is friendly, and the problem information, advice and suggestions are in place. It is relatively simple to use, so I will not elaborate on it.

Second, Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner (hereinafter referred to as WVS), which is also a WEB vulnerability security scanning tool in the industry. Test your website security through web crawlers and detect popular * *, such as cross-site scripts, sql injections, etc. Of course, it is a black box detection tool. The scanning speed is faster than that of AppScan, and the scanning effect is better for cross-site and injection vulnerabilities. The report analysis is not as detailed and convenient as AppScan.

Both programs are based on crawler technology to cycle through the scan. Crawler technology was first invented by search engines. Search websites release N small "crawlers" and cycle through websites around the world to collect new information on the site and set up a database for people around the world to find, so that they can find anything you want from Google, Baidu and other search portals.

Note: the so-called "crawler" is such a process that scans all the pages on the site according to certain rules (horizontal priority search, vertical priority search).

Through the above two software can help us in the project before the official launch of the WEB relatively fast and convenient security detection, targeted security precautions, timely repair of loopholes and reinforcement procedures. Of course, software is not omnipotent, security is always relative, we need to constantly learn and understand the relevant knowledge and the latest technology and use it through practice.

Of course, there are also some other tools and software, which can better realize the security detection and protection of WEB. For example: Web tamper-proof products, Web database audit products, WEB firewall products and so on.

The answer to the question about the two sharp tools of web security detection and the comparative application is shared here. I hope the above content can be of some help to everyone. If you still have a lot of doubts to be solved, you can follow the industry information channel to learn more about it.
