ANALYSIS OF WEB APPLICATION TESTING TOOLS

The article analyzes modern methods and tools used for security testing of web applications. prevalence violations applications the importance their prevention made an integral part software development life cycle (SDLC), which should detect vulnerabilities associated with providing a holistic approach to protecting program from hacker attacks, viruses, unauthorized access confidential data. To identify vulnerabilities, there are various tools, among popular ones are: static dynamic application (SAST DAST), interactive (IAST), composition analysis (SCA), runtime self-protection (RASP), firewalls (WAF), cloud posture management (CSPM). Analysis showed that they all have advantages disadvantages due specifics organization. Combining using each them can ensure high level product. Possible issues related aspect cracked or untrusted passwords, buffer overflows, manipulation hidden fields, insecure use cryptography, interception cookies, incorrect server configurations, weak session management, disclosure sensitive data, parameters, social hacking, inadequate verification input etc. Focusing on questions pays significant dividends in identifying remediating risks, threats, more. adapt heterogeneous nature Internet best protection applications, comprehensive balanced selecting appropriate is effective.
