Dear ZAP Developer Group,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aung Phyo, and I'm currently pursuing my master's degree in cyber security and information assurance. As part of my research project, I am focusing on enhancing the security of web applications that utilize Redis databases.
To achieve this goal, I am planning to develop an add-on for OWASP ZAP that enables scanning and detection of vulnerabilities specific to Redis databases when used within web applications. The add-on will facilitate comprehensive security testing, allowing users to identify and address potential security risks associated with Redis databases.
Given the importance of security testing in modern web development, I believe that integrating support for scanning Redis databases directly into OWASP ZAP would greatly benefit the security community. Therefore, I kindly request your assistance in the following ways:
Guidance and Support: I would greatly appreciate any guidance or support from the ZAP development team regarding the development process for creating the Redis database scanning add-on. This could include advice on best practices, documentation resources, or any specific requirements for integrating with ZAP.
Repository Access: In order to make the add-on widely accessible to OWASP ZAP users, I kindly request access to the ZAP add-ons repository to host the developed add-on. This will enable users to easily install and utilize the add-on directly from within OWASP ZAP.
Collaboration Opportunity: I am open to collaboration with members of the ZAP development community who may be interested in contributing to or reviewing the add-on code. Collaboration would help ensure the add-on meets the high standards of quality and functionality expected within the ZAP ecosystem.
I am enthusiastic about the potential impact of this project on improving the security posture of web applications utilizing Redis databases. Thank you for considering my request, and I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
Aung Phyo
