Website Vulnerability Scanner

Among the Distributed systems, web services tend to work over dynamic connections. Such type of technology was specifically designed to pass an SOAP message through various firewalls using open ports. However, this technology was then later on involved in various security threats such as injection attacks, denial of service (DoS) etc. A Survey stated more than 90% of the websites have at least one of the mentioned security threats. Detection of vulnerabilities encourages the software developers to use different security testing to reduce harmful attacks. So giving a Black-box approach, this research, with the help of a crawler, will be able to detect various security threats like SQL injection, cross site scripting, header manipulation, Click jacking etc. The idea of combining a crawler is for not only scanning the threats for a given URL but also scanning the links within URL. With this research an authentication page will also be attached so as to check whether the user is authorized or not. User will also be able to store the results for future reference.
