Advanced Web Crawler / Dynamic Scanner - DVGA(Damn Vulnerable GraphQL Application)

🚀 One Month Update: Capabilities of Web Crawler for Pentesting / Bug Hunting 🚀

Hello #CyberSecurity Community,

Just a month ago, I introduced you to the prototype of pioneering web crawler tailored for penetration testing. The outpour of support and interest has been overwhelming, and I am excited to share with you some incredible advancements today.

📽 What's New?

This update comes with not one, but THREE videos that demonstrate the crawler's capabilities across multiple web applications:

🏢 Diverse Architecture, Consistent Performance

Each of these web applications is designed on a different architecture, presenting unique sets of challenges for any automated tool. Crawler not only reached all the endpoints but also outperformed expectations.

🎯 Pinpoint Accuracy in Vulnerability Detection

Brute Force Testing: Crawler intelligently selects relevant endpoints to run brute force tests. This targeted approach ensures we are not overwhelming the system but still identifying potential weak points.

Stored XSS: Similar to the brute force testing, the stored XSS tests are also performed only on pertinent endpoints. This minimizes false positives and yields actionable results.

🔥 Results

I achieved extraordinary results across all three platforms. All apps are crawled, and targeted vulnerabilities were successfully identified in amazingly short time, validating the efficacy of tool.

🛠 Technical Insights

For the tech-savvy among you, this crawler leverages Python and asyncio for concurrency, integrated with cutting-edge security libraries to ensure optimal performance. Check out the detailed workflow in the videos!

🙏 What’s Next?

The journey doesn't stop here. My roadmap ahead is both ambitious and necessary for providing a holistic pentesting solution. Future work:

Expanding SXSS: I am extending the Stored XSS (SXSS) functionalities to include file and URL injections.

Introducing RXSS and DOM XSS: The next releases will include Reflected XSS (RXSS) and DOM XSS tests, widening the breadth of my XSS capabilities.

Beyond XSS: After perfecting the XSS detection, I plan to create tests conforming to OWASP Top 10 and OWASP API Top 10.

The demonstration videos intentionally utilize headful mode to provide a visual understanding of the crawling and testing process in action.

Stay tuned for more updates!
