Practical web security testing: Evolution of web application modules and open source testing tools
Author
Abstract

Science of Security 2022 - Web application security testing is vital for preventing any security flaws in the design of web applications. A major challenge in web security testing is the continuous change and evolution of web design tools and modules. As such, most open source tools may not be up to date with catching up with recent technologies. In this paper, we reported our effort and experience testing our recently developed website (https://mysmartsa.com/). We utilized and reported vulnerabilities from several open-source security testing tools. We also reported efforts to debug and fix those security issues throughout the development process.
