Frequently asked questions ( 5 )

Q

What is a Web application scan?

A

A web application security scanner is a program which communicates with a web application through the web front-end in order to identify potential security vulnerabilities in the web application and architectural weaknesses.

Q

Is WSSA a hardware or software solution?

A

WSSA is a service we host and maintain. There is no hardware required or software download or installation.

Q

How can I get the best results with my Beyond Security Seal?

A

Display the Beyond Security Seal on every page where you ask a visitor to enter personal data or a password. Also, displaying the seal on your homepage will encourage visitors to start shopping.

Q

How can I log in to a web application?

A

There are multiple ways you can configure Arachni to log in to a web application, depending on your requirements.

Q

How can I make a scan complete faster?

A

1. As Arachni is a black-box scanner, it has little knowledge about the web application it is testing.

2. By providing a little more information when configuring the scan, you can make the entire process significantly faster.
