Web Scanner: An Innovative Prototype for Checking Web Vulnerability

Abstract

With growing concerns about network security, various ways to protect your network from unauthorized access have been proposed. A new style has been proposed to reveal implicit discrepancies that can harm the network. Vulnerability analysis is the most commonly used method. Vulnerability is the hidden weakness of a system that makes it vulnerable to attack. By assessing the vulnerabilities of these systems, you can identify and develop new ways to protect your system from destruction. The impact of the vulnerability makes online security less humorous, so it is necessary to consider in advance how to mitigate its destructive impact. To overcome these issues, web security scanners are among the most essential tools for assessing the security of your website that are proposed in this research work. It allows regular stoners to identify vulnerabilities by detecting website vulnerabilities such as (i) Cross-site scripting (XSS), (ii) Cross-site request forgery (CSRF), (iii) Distributed denial of service (DDoS), and (iv) SQL injection. A tool that can be used to indicate. It also checks for various data manipulation viz. (i) URL manipulation, (ii) Session expiration, (iii) Privilege escalation, and (iv) Cookie-based attacks. It provides information about all open ports. This experiment carried out in this research work focuses on how our application can scan common and advanced vulnerabilities, that could be present on the website and show them to the user with minute detail of every attack. The user is given a security score displayed on the screen showing how trustworthy the website is with all the information the user might provide to the website.
