Frequently Asked Questions

How comprehensive is the security scanner for web applications?

Security Scanner detects OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, injection attacks, weak authentication, cryptographic issues, and configuration problems. It complements manual testing but doesn't replace thorough penetration testing by experienced professionals.

How quickly does the vulnerability database get new CVEs?

The database tracks CVEs from official sources (NVD, vendor advisories) with near real-time updates. Check regularly for your target systems' dependencies—CVEs are announced constantly.

What methodologies should I follow for testing?

Follow established frameworks: OWASP Testing Guide for comprehensive coverage, NIST SP 800-115 for methodology, PTES for overall engagement structure. Combine with threat modeling (STRIDE) for architecture-level assessment.

How detailed should my pentest reports be?

Include: executive summary, detailed vulnerability descriptions with proof-of-concept, CVSS scores, business impact, remediation steps with timelines, and verified fix verification. Tailor detail level for technical vs. executive audiences.

How do I stay current on new attack techniques?

Monitor CVE databases continuously, research emerging threats through academic and industry sources, follow security conferences (DEF CON, Black Hat, OWASP AppSec), and participate in red team exercises to stay current.
