Dynamic Reviewer

With Dynamic Reviewer Safe-PenTest module, you can inspect your Web Application, REST API, SOAP Services, App Engines and Micro-Services during running, directly using your Browser, in non-invasive way.

Open

DAST-Penetration Testing made easy

The following installation options are available:

• Web App. You can install it at your premises, installable in any host OS supporting Docker.

• Team Reviewer Plugin. BlackBox DAST plugin. Team Reviewer pre-installed is required.

• Cloud App. Like a local installed app, it provides various Usage Modes and Connection Modes.

Its special Safe-PenTest feature, allowing to explore vulnerabilities in your Web Applications, at the same time to keeping them securely. No need of Backups before PenTest, we guarantee our tool will keep your system and database integrity. 

You can import third-party results from Security Scanners, Host Scanners and Proof-of-Exploits tools. Their results will be correlated automatically and a unified Enterprise Report is generated.

Dynamic Reviewer DAST provides a robust and stable framework for Web Application Security Testing, suitable for all Security Analysts, QA and Developers with False Positives and False Negatives support, offering an easy-to-use Web GUI, Advanced Scan and Enterprise Reporting capabilities.

Usage Modes

Dynamic Reviewer Provides two usage modes:

• Black Box mode. It is placed in the role of the average hacker, with no internal knowledge of the target system. Testers using Dynamic Reviewer are not provided with any architecture diagrams or source code that is not publicly available. Dynamic Reviewer determines the vulnerabilities in a system that are exploitable from outside the network.
  This means that Black-Box penetration testing relies on dynamic analysis of currently running programs and systems within the target network.
  Dynamic Reviewer follows the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide, chapter 4. Web Application Security Testing.
  Further, Dynamic Reviewer analyzes in deep the client-side code (Ajax, DOM, JavaScript, TypeScript, etc.) discovering the largest number of client-side vulnerabilities in the market.

• White Box mode. [Cloud only] It performs Authentication before starting the scan. It provides the following Login modes:

  • Form-Based Authentication: login with User and Password as Web form, You can configure more than one user, they will be tested all.

  • JSON-Based Authentication: submit a JSON object with credentials

  • Tokern-Based Authentication: You can modify the request headers for inserting tokens

  • Script-Based Authentication: upload and execute a custom script used to login. This method is useful for websites / webapps where the authentication is a more complex one and some custom scripts that handle the authentication process are beneficial.

Open

Connection Modes

Both on premises and Cloud installations can connect to the target Web Application in different modes:

• Direct. Dynamic Reviewer will reach the target Web Application using a Direct connection to Internet

• Through Proxy. For reaching the target Web Application you need a proxy. You can configure the Proxy URI, Proxy TCP Port, Proxy User and Proxy Password

• SSH Tunnelling. A temporary SSH key will be automatically generated for the current Scan. The User can download it and execute the commands shown in the screen. It will create a SSH Tunnel to reach the target Web Application.

Findings

Once Scan is terminated, you have a list of Findings. You can:

• Suppress a Finding Category (example: all Blind SQL Injection issues)

• Suppress one or more Findings inside a Category

• Add Comments to the entire scan, to a Finding Category, to a single Finding

• Modify, Delete, change Severity tag, Merge Findings

• Import Results from third-party tools

• Export Combined Results in PDF, HTML, JSON, CSV, Excel and Word format

• Add Evidences to the Findings

You can drill-down to each Finding category:

Each Category groups a bunch of vulnerablities found in the virtual Attacks:

We call such Attacks ‘virtual’ because Dynamic Reviewer does not really execute the Attack/Exploit, but simulate it only.

Further, instead of declaring hundreds or even thousands of vulnerabilities you can focus of their categories, for a smarter Vulnerability Management.

Security Scanners

Further the above listed tools, Dynamic Reviewer provides its own Security Scan Engine, but you can also add results coming from third-party Security Scanners in order to cover possible False Negatives.

We currently support a number of 3rd-party Security Scanners.

Each Security Scanner makes different fields available.

In order to be able to combine output from multiple tools, our Plugin Manager lets you map between the fields provided by each Security Scanner and those you care about for your report.

It is up to you to purchase and manage the required Security Scanner’s License in case of you are using a Commercial Product.

Our tool imports the results only, without running your Security Scanner.

Client-Side scanning

Dynamic Reviewer includes an integrated, real browser environment in order to provide sufficient coverage to modern web applications which make use of technologies such as HTML5, JavaScript, DOM manipulation, AJAX, etc.

In essence, this turns Dynamic Reviewer into a DOM and JavaScript debugger, allowing it to monitor DOM events and JavaScript data and execution flows. As a result, not only can the system trigger and identify DOM-based issues, but it will accompany them with a great deal of information regarding the state of the page at the time.

Relevant information include:

• Page DOM, as HTML code.

  • With a list of DOM transitions required to restore the state of the page to the one at the time it was logged.

• Original DOM (i.e. prior to the action that caused the page to be logged), as HTML code.

  • With a list of DOM transitions.

• Data-flow sinks -- Each sink is a JS method which received a tainted argument.

  • Parent object of the method (ex.:DOMWindow).

  • Method signature (ex.:decodeURIComponent()).

  • Arguments list.

    • With the identified taint located recursively in the included objects.

  • Method source code.

  • JS stacktrace.

• Execution flow sinks -- Each sink is a successfully executed JS payload, as injected by the security checks.

  • Includes a JS stacktrace.

• JavaScript stack-traces include:

  • Method names.

  • Method locations.

  • Method source codes.

  • Argument lists.

• Compatible with ES5 and ES6

• Integrated with Wapplyzer

• A bunch of frameworks are supported, like Cordova/Phonegap and Node.js

In essence, you have access to roughly the same information that your favorite debugger (for example, FireBug) would provide, as if you had set a breakpoint to take place at the right time for identifying an issue.

DOM Security Issues

The list of DOM Security Issues found by Dynamic Reviewer are:

Configuration options include:

• Adjustable pool-size, i.e. the amount of browser workers to utilize.

• Timeout for each job.

• Worker TTL counted in jobs -- Workers which exceed the TTL have their browser process re-spawned.

• Ability to disable loading images.

• Adjustable screen width and height.

  • Can be used to analyze responsive and mobile applications.

• Ability to wait until certain elements appear in the page.

• Configurable local storage data.

Coverage

• The system can provide great coverage to modern web applications due to its integrated browser environment. This allows it to interact with complex applications that make heavy use of client-side code (like JavaScript) just like a human would.

  In addition to that, it also knows about which browser state changes the application has been programmed to handle and is able to trigger them programmatically in order to provide coverage for a full set of possible scenarios.

  By inspecting all possible pages and their states (when using client-side code) Dynamic Reviewer is able to extract and audit the following elements and their inputs:

• Forms

  • Along with ones that require interaction via a real browser due to DOM events.

  • User-interface Forms

    • Input and button groups which don't belong to an HTML<form>element but are instead associated via JS code.

  • User-interface Inputs

    • Orphan<input>elements with associated DOM events.

  • Links

    • Along with ones that have client-side parameters in their fragment, i.e.:http://example.com/#/?param=val&param2=val2

    • With support for rewrite rules.

  • Link Templates -- Allowing for extraction of arbitrary inputs from generic paths, based on user-supplied templates -- useful when rewrite rules are not available.

    • Along with ones that have client-side parameters in their URL fragments, i.e.:http://example.com/#/param/val/param2/val2

  • Cookies

  • Headers

  • Generic client-side elements which have associated DOM events.

  • AJAX-request parameters.

  • JSON request data.

  • XML request data.

Web Security Issues

Dynamic Reviewer runs testing to identify all of the major web application security vulnerabilities, such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting, Cross Site Request Forgery, and more. Dynamic Reviewer has an ever growing list of tests that are run against the application and APIs to identify potential security vulnerabilities.

Dynamic Reviewer provides the following HTTP passive and active scan rules which find specific vulnerabilities. Dynamic Reviewer can discover the following OWASP ZAP Web Security Issues:
