Web Application for Evaluation of Security Testing Tools
Moravec, Vojtěch ; Lieskovan, Tomáš (referee) ; Ilgner, Petr (advisor)
The bachelor thesis focuses on the design, development, and implementation of an intentionally vulnerable environment in the form of a web application. The resulting web application encompasses vulnerabilities across categories outlined in the OWASP Top 10 project, specifically following its 2021 version. Through this application, it is possible to assess and compare automated tools for penetration testing, as well as tools for static code security analysis. The thesis is divided into five chapters. In the introduction, the OWASP Foundation, which oversees the OWASP project, is described. The analysis of selected intentionally vulnerable web applications is then presented. Subsequent chapters delve into the design of the custom intentionally vulnerable web application, detailing the technologies used in its development and outlining all vulnerabilities present in the application. In the conclusion of the thesis, testing of the resulting vulnerable application is conducted using the aforementioned tools, and a summary of the achieved results is provided. Apart from the aforementioned testing and comparison of automated tools in the fields of penetration testing and static analysis, the application can also be utilized for educational purposes. This is primarily facilitated by the attached fixes and explanations, which accompany each vulnerability within the application.
