ABSTRACT

Automated dynamic web application security testing has become an integral part of the of the software development life-cycle and is key to building and maintaining secure web applications. While traditional dynamic scanning techniques are able to reliably uncover several high-severity vulnerabilities, they don't address more complex vulnerabilities.
Throughout this presentation we shall be looking at techniques leveraged by dynamic scanners to uncover hard-to-detect web application vulnerabilities, as well as techniques used by scanners used to improve result accuracy.
In this talk we explore the fundamentals of black box scanning:
• Identify the methods and shortcomings of automating scanning.
• How, taking an automated and manual approach assist in finding difficult vulnerabilities.
• We will discover how dynamic scanning has evolved.
Get answer to these situations and more in our upcoming OWASP meeting on March 12, 2015 with Ian Muscat.
