Q:What tools can help me find websites that are vulnerable to input verification attacks on our enterprise websites?
A:As you may know, input verification ensures that the program operates on clean and available data. Some common tools can be used to locate webpages that are vulnerable to input verification attacks. First, you may need to check the OWASP network security guide, which can help fix websites that are infected.
There are two basic tools for finding application threats: vulnerability scanners and Web Application Security scanners.
In the past few years, vulnerability scanners have added the Web Application Security scanning feature. In addition to traditional operating systems or application scanning, these tools can also identify web pages that are vulnerable to SQL injection or other cyber security attacks. These scanners are useful as part of a comprehensive vulnerability management program, but they may not be as effective as dedicated Web Application Security scanners.
Web Application Security scanners or dedicated SQL Injection tools are more effective in identifying all vulnerable Web pages on your website. The Web Application Security scanner will add more features to identify input verification vulnerabilities, and you may also customize application security scanning for your website. Three tools are available: Web-based services such as cloud-based services provided by WhiteHat Security Company) and open-source tools such as Windows GUI-based FG-Injector framework) and closed source commercial products such as Windows-based IBM Rational AppScan ).
All these tools require different levels of functionality to effectively run Web Application Security scanning, and you need to determine the tools that best suit your environment.
Depending on the complexity of your website, you may find a large number of infected pages. To fix them, you may also need to prioritize them. If you have a large number of infected pages, consider adding a Web application firewall for the additional protection layer.
