VScanX
Automated vulnerability scanner for identifying OWASP Top 10 security flaws.
The Challenge
Manual vulnerability assessment is time-consuming and prone to human error, especially during the reconnaissance phase of penetration testing.
My Approach
Architecture: Built a modular scanning engine in Python.
Detection Logic: Implemented custom rulesets for detecting common OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities.
Automation: Created an automated pipeline for rapid URL scanning and payload injection.
Reporting: Designed a clear, structured output format to help developers remediate findings quickly.
Tech Stack
Key Features
Automated payload injection for common vulnerabilities
Low false-positive rate detection engine
