Tool creation for an automated penetration testing of web applications
Kiezler, Tomáš ; Hradil, Jiří (advisor) ; Pavlíček, Luboš (referee)
This thesis focuses on security of web applications, which can be measured by the results of penetration testing. In the theoretical section of this study individual methods of how the testing can be performed are outlined. This study then outlines the advantages and disadvantages of automated testing compared to manual testing, and the tools which incorporate automated scanning for security of web applications are scrutinized. Statistics of security risk occurrences found on the Czech Internet are also included. The practical part depicts the creation of a tool for automated testing, written in the most frequently used programming language in web development, that will be able to detect the most common weaknesses. The tool is developed to show ways of detecting certain risks and to inspect whether it is possible to automate the search. The primary aim of this study is to introduce the reader to the field of security of web applications, present to them the legality of penetration testing and introduce them to options of finding and fixing security risks and avoiding them in web development.

Vulnerability assesment tools
Charvát, Michal ; Veber, Jaromír (advisor) ; Klíma, Tomáš (referee)
This bachelor thesis is focused on a specific area of information systems security, which is called vulnerability assesment. Vulnerability assesment is executed with special tools called vulnerability scanners. In the the beginning of the first part I will introdukce the area of information systems security and its breaf history, the basic terms of vulnerability assesment and related topics, such as penetration testing. In the following part few test will be executed using some of the chosen available and free tools and then analyze its results. The main criteria will be the number and criticality of the given vulnerabilities. Finally the user-friedly aspect of each tool will be evalueted, which could be a little subjective matter.

E-learning applications and data security
Menčík, Jan ; Veber, Jaromír (advisor) ; Čermák, Radim (referee)
This bachelor's thesis addresses the topic of security threats for web applications, with the practical part presenting a security assessment of selected e-learning applications. It describes the most common current threats for web applications, attack techniques and security techniques. The web environment gave rise to a whole range of techniques for breaching the security of web applications, and this thesis therefore presents the most common threats. The second part of the thesis introduces security techniques, both general techniques based on securing the protocol and techniques against specific threats. The protocol on which an application runs is one of the most important security components, and therefore the thesis analyses the functioning of the HTTPS protocol and its security layers in greater detail. The following part provides an analysis of the field of e-learning security. The reader learns about the security risks which he can encounter in operating open source e-learning solutions. The conclusion of the theoretical part describes the basic principles of security testing by means of the methods defined by the Open Web Application Security Project. The practical part of the thesis deals with the results of security testing of three selected open-source software systems: Moodle, Dokeos and eFront. The testing was focused on threats introduced in the theoretical part of the thesis and uses the findings from the OWASP Testing Guide v3. Individual testing attacks, their results and overall security recommendations are described for every tested e-learning system. The conclusion of the practical part provides an overall assessment of the tested systems.
