The importance of website scanners!

Automated website scanning with K9 is designed to identify vulnerabilities in websites. This web vulnerability scanner can detect vulnerabilities within web applications, web services, and web servers. The vulnerabilities of a website can easily be exploited by malicious users to steal data, compromise personal information, and access confidential files, spam websites, inject code, or even take over servers. The consequences of such an attack can be severe if it is successful in destroying a company's reputation and finances. It is therefore imperative that every company that maintains a website or web application understands and prevents website vulnerabilities.

Vulnerabilities on websites - what are they?

Hackers and cyber attackers can exploit website vulnerabilities to exploit weaknesses or holes in websites or web apps. This web vulnerability scanners can detect the following vulnerabilities on websites:

• Distributed denial of service (DDoS)
• Command injection
• SQL injection
• Cross-site scripting (XSS)

How does it scanner work?

Site vulnerability scanning involves crawling the whole site, usually from the outside. Whenever it finds a web page or file, it scans it. In vulnerability scanning programs, websites are examined after they have been crawled for known vulnerabilities. Several pseudoattacks are performed, and the results are analyzed.
