Please let me know if, based on this information, you can create for us a method by which to finger print and (dynamically) filter traffic from this scanner in the future. Our current countermeasure - waking up our network engineers and having them manually add the source IP of the scanner (which varies with each attack) - is time consuming...

You can build a custom vulnerability or app signature to identify this traffic. To match on patterns in http request headers, you can use the http-req-headers context, and for matching patterns in URL you can use http-req-uri-path context.

SRA, thank you for your speedy reply. As the Acunetix CTO stated "All editions are making a request to the following URL before starting the scan:http://website/acunetix-wvs-test-for-some-inexistent-file"

Pardon me for the late reply, please; yes, we took a packet capture and have uploaded this capture to our ticket (ticket #: 00149001). Please let me know if this will suffice for now, or if there is anything else we can provide you with in helping us develop a filter to test against this scanner.

Acunetix Manual Tools is a free suite of penetration testing tools. These tools are not part of the Acunetix product and you need to download an installation package separately. Acunetix Manual Tools include 8 modules: HTTP Editor, Subdomain Scanner, Target Finder, Blind SQL Injector, HTTP Fuzzer, Authentication Tester, Web Services Editor, and HTTP Sniffer. Acunetix Manual Tools are free for private and commercial use but they are not an open-source project. Currently, they are only available for the Microsoft Windows operating system. The tools use a graphical interface only and do not support the command line. Penetration testers can use Acunetix Manual Tools with other tools such as the Metasploit exploitation framework, OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP), w3af audit framework, Wireshark, etc. to expand their knowledge about a particular security issue detected by an automated web vulnerability scanner or to find advanced security vulnerabilities that automated scanners cannot detect. A combination of automatic and manual tools is the best solution for a web application security testing framework. Automated scanners save a lot of time while manual tools let pen testers explore deeper.

While the functionality behind these simple network security tools is easily available in other tool suites such as Kali Linux or network security scanners like nmap, bundling them with more advanced tools helps penetration testers and ethical hackers find web application vulnerabilities faster.

Scanning complex web applications using traditional web vulnerability scanners may take hours, having a serious impact on production site performance and internal processes. Acunetix addresses this problem by introducing even more innovations that improve scanning performance.

Acunetix v13 introduces two new features that greatly improve automation, especially in the case of larger organizations. The vulnerability confidence level clearly indicates whether the vulnerability may need further manual confirmation. Critical vulnerabilities typically have a 100 percent confidence level, which means that they are fully verified. For most such vulnerabilities, Acunetix now also provides a proof-of-exploit, such as the content of a sensitive file downloaded from the server.

The newest release also enhances the import and integration capabilities of Acunetix. The scanner can now additionally import WADL, ASP.Net WebForms, and Postman files to seed the crawl. You can also export vulnerabilities to even more issue trackers: GitLab, Bugzilla, and Mantis.

For the first time in the marketplace Acunetix is launching an enterprise-level product that integrates sophisticated automated testing technology with vulnerability management, at a price point accessible to every development team. Chris Martin, CEO, Acunetix explains:

Invicti and Acunetix are two separate DAST solutions based on industry-leading web vulnerability scanners currently developed and sold by Invicti Security. Both are extremely accurate DAST tools (and both include automatic vulnerability confirmations) but are aimed at different organizations and use cases. Invicti features a rich set of workflow integrations and is built with automation in mind for enterprise-scale deployments, while Acunetix focuses on fast and easy scanning for smaller organizations.

True IAST is the term used by Invicti to describe its DAST-driven approach to interactive application security testing. In the Invicti model, IAST is performed by an optional agent that is installed on the web or application server and constantly interacts with the core DAST scanner during testing (which is true interactive testing). IAST agents for Invicti and Acunetix are available for PHP, .NET, Java, and Node.js.

Proof-based scanning is the name used for automated vulnerability confirmation technology in the Invicti DAST solution. It works by automatically performing mock attacks in an attempt to safely exploit selected classes of vulnerabilities and obtain proof that an attack is possible. Vulnerability reports confirmed using proof-based scanning cannot be false positives because they have already been safely exploited. Note that Acunetix uses a similar system of automatic vulnerability confirmations to verify whether identified weaknesses are exploitable.

Most vulnerability scanning tools will detect common vulnerabilities, but may be limited in the types of scans performed, the programming languages they support, and integrations with other developer and operations (DevOps) tools.

Most DevOps teams will make purchasing decisions for vulnerability scanners based upon deployment flexibility, scanning speed, scanning accuracy, connections to other tools, and, of course, price. The recommendations in this article focus primarily on specialty web application scanning tools and does not list the web application scanning modules of integrated enterprise vulnerability scanners developed by Rapid7, Qualys, etc.

Detectify seeks to use crowd-sourced vulnerability research to power External Attack Surface Management (EASM) tools for asset discovery and vulnerability assessments. Currently, Detectify offers two solutions, Surface Monitoring and Web Application Scanning.

Invicti, formerly known as Netsparker, is an application vulnerability scanner designed for enterprise-scale and automation. Invicti intends this product to be the tool a company grows into after using the Acunetix product aimed at small businesses.

Founded by DevOps engineers for DevOps engineers who write and push out code every day, StackHawk seeks to simplify the process of building secure software. Their DAST scanner integrates with CI/CD Automation and Slack to help triage findings and enable rapid correction. With a free tier that allows scanning for one application, even resource constrained small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) can afford to implement security into their development.

There are many website and application vulnerability scanning tools and most will detect common critical vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP top 10 such as SQL Injections (SQLi) or Cross-site Scripting (XSS). There will also be heavy overlap of capabilities with Top Application Security Vendors as both types of tools examine the code using similar techniques:

The rise in importance and functionality of websites and applications draws the attention of attackers seeking to exploit any opportunity. Organizations of all sizes need to incorporate vulnerability scanning tools to locate the most common vulnerabilities before anyone else can.

A vulnerability scanner is a computer program designed to assess computers, networks or applications for known weaknesses. These scanners are used to discover the weaknesses of a given system. They are utilized in the identification and detection of vulnerabilities arising from mis-configurations or flawed programming within a network-based asset such as a firewall, router, web server, application server, etc. Modern vulnerability scanners allow for both authenticated and unauthenticated scans. Modern scanners are typically available as SaaS (Software as a Service); provided over the internet and delivered as a web application. The modern vulnerability scanner often has the ability to customize vulnerability reports as well as the installed software, open ports, certificates and other host information that can be queried as part of its workflow.

Vulnerability scanners should be able to detect the risks in open-source dependencies. However, since developers will usually re-bundle the OSS, the same code will appear in different dependencies, which will then impact the performance and ability of scanners to detect the vulnerable OSS.[2]
Web Application Vulnerability Scanners are automated tools that scan web applications, normally from the outside, to look for security vulnerabilities such as Cross-site scripting, SQL Injection, Command Injection, Path Traversal and insecure server configuration. This category of tools is frequently referred to as Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) Tools. A large number of both commercial and open source tools of this type are available and all of these tools have their own strengths and weaknesses. If you are interested in the effectiveness of DAST tools, check out the OWASP Benchmark project, which is scientifically measuring the effectiveness of all types of vulnerability detection tools, including DAST.
