Utilizing Dynamic Analysis for Web Application Penetration Testing
 Píš, Patrik ; Lazarov, Willi
This paper presents the design and implementation of a new modular tool, called PtWebDA, for dynamic analysis of web applications as one of the techniques used in penetration testing. Compared to other available tools and their limitations, our solution enables efficient rate limiting while also allowing testing of HTTP headers, cookie attributes, and content security policy directives. To verify its effectiveness in supporting manual web application penetration testing, we performed experimental testing in a controlled environment. The results of testing the presented tool PtWebDA are discussed in detail and highlight the key contributions of our solution.

Tool for Dynamic Analysis of Web Applications
 Píš, Patrik ; Martinásek, Zdeněk (referee) ; Ilgner, Petr (advisor)
This master's thesis presents matters of penetration testing of web applications with the primary focus on the use of dynamic analysis. The thesis analyzes the current state of the art of web application security and focuses on both individual vulnerabilities and the protection mechanisms implemented by web applications. The main objective of the thesis is to design and implement an automated offensive tool that tests the resilience of a~web application to cyber threats. Compared to other available tools and their limitations, the proposed solution enables efficient rate limiting testing while also allowing testing of HTTP headers, cookie attributes, and content security policy directives. To validate its effectiveness in supporting manual penetration testing of web applications, a sandbox environment was created where experimental testing was conducted. The tool was also tested in a real production environment during penetration tests for real clients with positive feedback from professional penetration testers, demonstrating its practicality and usability in web application penetration testing.
