Announcement
OWASP ZAP Core Project (by Checkmarx)
OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) core project by Checkmarx. The world's most widely used free web app security scanner. Find security vulnerabilities in your web applications during development and testing.
Project Introduction
Summary
OWASP ZAP is a leading open-source web application security scanner. It helps developers and security professionals automatically find security vulnerabilities in their web applications while they are developing and testing the application.
Problem Solved
Identifying and mitigating security vulnerabilities in web applications is critical but often complex and time-consuming. ZAP provides an accessible, powerful, and free solution to help find these weaknesses early and efficiently.
Core Features
Automated Vulnerability Scanning
Perform automated scans to identify common security vulnerabilities.
Intercepting Proxy
Proxy mode allows manual exploration of web applications and analysis of traffic.
REST API and Automation
Provides comprehensive APIs for integration into CI/CD pipelines and external tools.
Tech Stack
使用场景
OWASP ZAP can be used in various scenarios, from manual security testing to fully automated vulnerability scanning.
Web Application Penetration Testing
Details
Perform manual penetration testing by using ZAP as an intercepting proxy to analyze requests and responses, and manually test input fields for vulnerabilities.
User Value
Gain deep insights into application behavior and discover complex vulnerabilities not found by automated tools alone.
CI/CD Pipeline Integration (DevSecOps)
Details
Integrate ZAP scans directly into your development workflow using its automation framework or API, running scans with each commit or build.
User Value
Automate security testing to catch vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle, reducing remediation costs.
Automated Security Assessment
Details
Conduct automated vulnerability assessments on known applications using ZAP's active and passive scanning capabilities.
User Value
Quickly identify a wide range of common vulnerabilities across multiple applications or environments.
