Using the ZAP Vulnerability Scanner to Test Web Applications

Olga R. Laponina, Sergey A. Malakhovsky

Abstract


The article examines tools for testing security and searching for various types of vulnerabilities in web applications. The main functionality and main components of the vulnerability testing tools W3AF, Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP are considered. Also discussed are the deployment of the environment for testing application security and implemented various options for using the vulnerability scanner OWASP ZAP. The vulnerability test was conducted in the OWASP Mutillidae application. Mutillidae implements all types of vulnerabilities listed in OWASP Top 10 2007, 2010 and 2013. The application provides the program code for working with the vulnerability scanner via the Java API.
