What's New in Syhunt 6.9.3 (November 3, 2020)

Syhunt Hybrid and Community 6.9.3 extends its TypeScript analysis, accelerates SAST and more

In August we announced 3x faster incremental scans. Now we are proud to introduce version 6.9.3 of Syhunt, which extends static analysis of TypeScript code, adds 5x faster source code scans and faster analysis of JavaScript code, includes Huntpad 2.0, as well as introduces a large number of enhancements that translate to improved DAST and SAST accuracy and performance. Version 6.9.3's focus is once again JavaScript and the MEAN stack - last year Syhunt added a large number of vulnerability checks tailored for MongoDB, Express.js, Angular (v2 and higher), AngularJS, Node.js, Koa.js and jQuery and initial code support for TypeScript. Now we took it to the next level.

Whether your TypeScript code transpiles to client-side browser or server-side JavaScript, Syhunt 6.9.3 is now equipped to perform its security analysis through its SAST capabilities and uncover vulnerabilities, weaknesses and quality issues before the code is compiled to JavaScript.

New Code Checks & Improvements

  • Around 5x faster code scans, and optimizations to accelerate scans of JavaScript code.
  • Greatly extended and improved TypeScript checks and analysis.
  • Greatly improved SAST of Ruby, ASP (classic) and JavaScript web apps (additional accuracy and checks). Improved auto-detection of JavaScript type.
  • Improved input validation analysis in a variety of languages, including ASP and JavaScript web apps.
  • Added Affected Variable(s) to vulnerability properties dialog and report, and improved variable usage analysis.
  • Added list of unsupported files to coverage section in report.

Huntpad 2.0 - The Bug Hunter's Notepad

Two years after the first release of Syhunt Huntpad, we're excited to release Huntpad 2.0 x64 with various new additions and improvements, including a secure random password generator and the out-of-the-box ability to execute scripts in 12 different programming languages, including various JavaScript engines and TypeScript. Why so many languages? Every code reviewer, bug hunter and penetration tester knows that it is very useful to have a way of quickly testing small pieces of code and scripts before trying on a real target environment.

Other Improvements and Changes

  • Improved Syhunt Dynamic spidering - Improved JS analysis, improved JS string handling and improved form handling of forms with multiple submission methods. Improved JS parser loading under Linux.
  • Faster Dynamic scans - Faster unvalidated redirect and OAST checks and faster CWE Top 25 and OWASP Top 10 scans.

We hope you enjoy the new release!



What's New in Syhunt 6.9.1 (August 25, 2020)

Syhunt Hybrid and Community 6.9.1 Adds 3.5x Faster, Incremental Scans

Today we announce yet another update for Syhunt Hybrid and Community, with the addition of 3.5x faster, incremental DAST and SAST analysis. With the new feature available in Syhunt 6.9.1, results and data from scans against a specific target URL or codebase are automatically stored and used to speed up future scans.

To give an idea on how important this new feature is, a dynamic scan against the PreyServer (our vulnerable demo web app) which usually has a duration of 2m10 got reduced to just 38 seconds with incremental scan after the first scan has been executed. In a very similar way, a code scan against a very large test codebase with a duration of 6m21 got reduced to 1m49 after the first scan.

All Syhunt scans are now by default incremental scans. Syhunt will automatically manage the new feature, discarding its cached incremental scan data when appropriate.

Other Improvements

  • Added check for SQUID-2020 Cache Poisoning Issue in HTTP Request processing (CVE-2020-15049)
  • Allow incremental scan to be enabled or disabled from site preferences and schedule preferences dialogs (enabled by default).
  • Allow incremental scan data to be manually cleared from the Dynamic Targets and Scheduled Scans lists. Events such as upgrading Syhunt or 90 days passed since the incremental cache was created will make Syhunt automatically reset its incremental cache.
  • Added -inc parameter that allows to set the incremental scan mode in ScanURL and ScanCode CLI tools.
  • Improved scan scheduler (Improved list of scheduled scans with new columns and icons, added the Scan Scheduler to the Launcher screen, allow to rename a scheduled scan, and more).
  • Allow columns to be sorted.
  • Bug fixes: the status of a scan in progress being reported as Cancelled in the past sessions screen (bug introduced in 6.9.0.0), the Target column will display proper target name for new scans in the past sessions screen, and fixed a hash generation problem that would rarely cause a crash.

We hope you enjoy the new release!

What's New in Syhunt 6.8.5 (June 10, 2020)

Syhunt Hybrid 6.8.5 released, adds GitLab support and extends issues integration

We're happy to release Syhunt Hybrid version 6.8.5. The new release brings extended issue tracker integration with support for GitLab issues, custom labels and fields in any tracker, personal access token support, improved checks for weak or missing HTTP security headers and bug fixes.

Issue Tracker Integration Improvements

Syhunt 6.8.5 extends the issue tracker integration options , making it even easier to configure trackers and submit details about vulnerabilities that have been identified during a scan to projects from within the Syhunt application. This includes GitHub, GitLab and JIRA projects.

  • Added GitLab issue tracker support.
  • Improved Jira support: allow editing custom fields in tracker preferences screen.
  • Allow editing a list of labels when configuring issue trackers of any kind.
  • Allow personal access token in GitHub tracker preferences.

Improved Header Checks and Bug Fixes

The newly added checks for weak or missing security headers got its first revision which addressed two specific false positive cases:

  • a Permissive HSTS Header check false positive case.
  • Missing Content Sniffing XSS Protection false positive (X-Content-Type-Options).

In addition to the false positive cases above, the following bugs were addressed in Syhunt Dynamic: a TLS 1.2 handshake issue, a case of http-equiv related redirect handling issue and a bug in experimental IDS Evasion feature (disabled by default) that when the option was enabled, the request version would be set incorrectly.

We hope you enjoy the new release!



What's New in Syhunt 6.8.3 (May 1, 2020)

Note: Syhunt 6.8.4 (released in May 21) includes an update notification feature and some bug fixes.

Syhunt Hybrid 6.8.3 released, adds enhanced DAST fingerprinting, manual login and more

We're happy to release Syhunt Hybrid version 6.8.3. The new release brings many important DAST improvements, including enhanced web server fingerprinting, integration with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, hybrid client-side JavaScript code analysis (SAST-within-DAST), and more.

Syhunt Hybrid 6.8.3 adds Hunter-Sense™, a fingerprinting feature that allows the detection of the hidden versions of server software and components. If an Apache or Nginx web server or server module is configured to hide its version, Syhunt Hunter-Sense is many times able to reconstruct the incomplete "picture" and determine the version number of the server and its components, such as PHP, mod_ssl, OpenSSL and Phusion Passenger. The pioneer feature is based on an analysis we conducted of patterns found in 1 million Internet websites and allows Syhunt to detect outdated, vulnerable server software and components that would go otherwise unnoticed.

Outdated Server Sofware Detection

Syhunt Hybrid 6.8.3 adds over 1200 checks for outdated, vulnerable server software, covering over 30 web server software and components — powered by its new Hunter-Sense fingerprinting capabilities. In addition to this, Syhunt Code has been integrated with Syhunt Dynamic to perform extended hybrid analysis of client-side JavaScript - Syhunt's SAST now runs from within its DAST. This innovative SAST-within-DAST approach allows that both custom vulnerable JavaScript code and outdated, vulnerable third-party JavaScript libraries are detected client-side through dynamic analysis.

Manual Login in External Browser

Syhunt Hybrid 6.8.3 integrates with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox without the need of installing a browser extension. This adds the ability to launch a scan against a web application after logging in from an external web browser instance - an easy 3-step process. Alternatively, automated login and manual login through Syhunt's built-in, Chromium-based Sandcat browser is still available.

Other Improvements

  • Moved crawling depth limit option and OAST option to the Site Preferences screen.
  • Changed default browser emulation mode and user agent to Chrome.
  • Improved parsing of JavaScript in HTML files.
  • Report generation now runs in an isolated task.
  • Allow SSH protocol in GIT URLs
  • Fixed: crash during outdated code check when scanning known third-party script.

We hope you enjoy the new release!



What's New in Syhunt 6.8.2 (April 2, 2020)

Syhunt Hybrid 6.8.2 released, adds static code analysis of Ruby web apps and more

A new update released today brings a long-awaited feature to Syhunt: SAST for Ruby based web applications. Syhunt 6.8.2 is now able to scan the source code of web applications in Ruby (Rails and ERB) for security bugs with coverage for over 19 vulnerability categories. Of all the programming languages which have been added to Syhunt over recent years, Ruby was the only important one that was missing. In addition to this important new feature, Syhunt 6.8.2 also includes compliance reporting and scan method for the 2019 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors, and Imperva SecureSphere compatible vulnerability export for allowing virtual patching of new vulnerabilities as they are identified by the tool.

Code Checks for Ruby

Syhunt 6.8.2 adds source code checks for the following vulnerabilities and weaknesses in Ruby code:

  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • SQL Injection
  • Arbitrary File Manipulation
  • Broken Cryptography
  • Code Injection
  • Denial of Service
  • Hardcoded Sensitive Information
  • HTTP Header Injection
  • Insecure Communication

  • Added a compliance template for the 2019 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors.
  • Added two new scan methods: CWE Top 25 and OWASP Top 10, which allow to scan specifically for the top 25 most dangerous software errors and the 10 most critical web application security risks.
  • Added an important cleanup of temporary files created during OAST testing in Syhunt Dynamic.
  • Improved parsing of Python code.

We hope you enjoy the new release!



What's New in Syhunt 6.8.1 (March 6, 2020)

Syhunt introduces Hybrid-Augmented Analysis, OAST & Android APK Analysis capabilities

We are proud to introduce version 6.8.1 of Syhunt and, at the same time, unveil its online Syhunt Signal service (http://signal.syhunt.com/). The Syhunt scanner integration with Syhunt Signal adds the ability to perform OAST (Out-of-Band Application Security Testing), which allows Syhunt to detect a range of otherwise invisible, high-risk out-of-band (OOB) vulnerabilities, as well as to perform Hybrid-Augmented Analysis, a combination of DAST, SAST and OAST methodologies. Using a range of OAST techniques, Syhunt 6.8.1 is also able to demonstrate data exfiltration from a vulnerable target web server. Out-of-band (OOB) vulnerabilities are usually high-risk, such as variants of OS Command Injection, SQL Injection and XXE Injection that cannot be detected by conventional DAST, making the adoption of the OAST methodology necessary.

As part of this release, we've also expanded Syhunt's MAST (Mobile Application Security Testing) capabilites with the ability to reverse engineer and scan Android Package (APK) files for OWASP Mobile Top 10 and CWE/SANS Top 25 risks.

Hybrid-Augmented Analysis & OAST

Syhunt Hybrid simulates inferential, in-band and out-of-band (OOB) attacks by using entry point and other information acquired through SAST and a combination of DAST and OAST. Syhunt's online OAST service, known as Syhunt Signal, listens to forced requests coming in from a vulnerable target web server over the course of a scan and signals back to the Syhunt scanner. Syhunt then automatically correlates the received Signal alerts with attack requests it launched and adds the identified vulnerabilities to its report and user interface. The collaboration with Syhunt Signal also allows the Syhunt scanner to automatically exfiltrate data from a vulnerable target, which gets added to the scan results. This is achieved through different techniques (environment and OS-specific).

The OAST capability is available at no additional cost to existing Syhunt Dynamic and Syhunt Hybrid customers. The new feature needs an active Internet connection to work, so that Syhunt Dynamic can communicate with Syhunt Signal.

Out-of-Band Vulnerability Checks

Syhunt 6.8.1 adds checks for the out-of-band variants of the following vulnerabilities:

  • Command Execution
  • Remote File Inclusion (RFI)
  • Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
  • SQL Injection
  • XML External Entity (XXE) Injection

Android APK Analysis

Syhunt 6.81 adds the ability to scan Android Package (APK) files for vulnerabilities. The new feature is available at no additional cost to existing Syhunt Mobile, Syhunt Code Plus or Syhunt Hybrid Platinum Plus customers and allows to scan an Android application for vulnerabilities without the need of having its source code files. Despite the support for APK files, it is still recommended to scan the original mobile application source code files if available, since the APK file analysis uses reverse engineering techniques.

Other Improvements

  • Added the ability to scan a single source code file from the New Scan dialog.
  • Fixed: some redundant reporting of remote file inclusion vulnerabilities.
  • Fixed: a problem with individual source code file scan with ScanCode CLI.
  • The CLI tools now highlight in red about fatal errors.

We hope you enjoy the new release!

JIRA and GitHub Issues integration

Syhunt 6.5 is the first release to support JIRA and GitHub issues. Configuring an issue tracker is an easy task and vulnerabilities can be submitted to a specific project with the click of a button.

F5 BIG-IP ASM compatible scanner export

The F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM) is able to import vulnerability scan results from Syhunt Dynamic scans, virtually patching vulnerable web applications - Syhunt 6.5 generates vulnerability exports compatible with the F5 BIG-IP ASM system. To generate the export, when saving a report, just select to save the file as type XML ASM.

Jenkins extensions

Syhunt 6.5 comes with extensions for Jenkins that allow web application security scans to be called from within a Jenkins Pipeline script, allowing customers to integrate the Syhunt Dynamic and Syhunt Code scanner tools into their continuous delivery pipeline, schedule scans and much more. The beta extensions add three Groovy functions called syhunt.scanURL(), scanCode() and scanGIT() that can be used to perform dynamic and source code scans (DAST and SAST) from within a pipeline execution, optionally failing a build if a certain criteria is met (like if High risk vulnerabilities are found).

GIT Protocol Support

Syhunt 6.5 adds support for GIT URLs in ScanCode CLI utility and Lua API, and support for GIT branches in both the CLI utility and the scanGIT() command for Jenkins. The examples below show how to scan a GIT repository.


-- from the command prompt
scancode git://sub.domain.com/repo.git
scancode https://github.com/user/repo.git -rb:master

-- from Jenkins pipeline script
syhunt.scanGIT([target: 'https://github.com/someuser/somerepo.git', branch: 'master', build: 'failifriskmedium'])

-- from Lua script
code:scanurl('https://github.com/someuser/somerepo.git', 'master')

What's New in Syhunt 6.3 (September 8, 2018)

Syhunt now supports CVSS v3 vulnerability scoring

We're happy to announce that Syhunt version 6.3, released today, adds full support for CVSS. CVSS stands for Common Vulnerability Scoring System and is an industry open standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help determine urgency and priority of response.

To enable the best use of the CVSS system, CVSS3 and CVSS2 vectors were assigned to all kinds of vulnerabilities currently detected by Syhunt Dynamic and Syhunt Code. Now, when a report is generated, vulnerabilities are sorted by default based on their CVSS3 score. This means that instead of the classic four-step sorting (High, Medium, Low, Info), there are now 101 possible vulnerability ratings, going from 0.0 (None) to 10.0 (Critical), determined during runtime. In addition to this, XML exports now contain full CVSS3 and CVSS2 data, such as the Base Score, Impact Score, Exploitability Score, Temporal Score and more.

RatingCVSS Score
None0.0
Low0.1 - 3.9
Medium4.0 - 6.9
High7.0 - 8.9
Critical9.0 - 10.0

Additional Improvements

  • Added a Comparison report template that displays the evolution of vulnerabilities over time by automatically comparing previous scan session data related to a specific target.
  • Added the ability to compare past scan sessions to determine new, unchanged or removed vulnerabilities, and save the comparison results as HTML (Menu -> Past Sessions -> Compare Checked button).
  • Revamped PDF report generation.

Screenshots

We hope you enjoy the new release!



What's New in Syhunt 6.2 (June 15, 2018)

Syhunt now supports ASP.NET, Perl, PHP, Python, Java, JS and Lua code

It was only last month that we announced the addition of SAST (static application security testing) for Java to Syhunt, but good news, we have a new update to share today which brings SAST for Node.js based web applications. Syhunt 6.2 is able to scan the source code of Node.js web applications for security vulnerabilities with coverage for the Express and Koa frameworks. Because Syhunt was already able to dynamically test Node.js and MongoDB based web apps for vulnerabilities, this update makes Syhunt an ideal tool for both penetration testing and code review (DAST and SAST) of web apps built using the MEAN stack - MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS & Node.js.

Code Checks for Node.js (Stable)

Syhunt 6.2 adds security code checks targeting Node.js web apps, covering:

  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • SQL Injection
  • Code Injection
  • Unvalidated Redirect
  • File Manipulation
  • Command Execution
  • HTTP Header Injection
  • Log Forging
  • Server-Side Request Forgery
  • Input filtering/validation analysis

Note: Checks above in gray color are only available in the professional editions of Syhunt.

We hope you enjoy the new release!

What's New in Syhunt 6.0 (October 10, 2017)

After a year of intense research and development, we're very proud to release version 6.0 of the Syhunt Hybrid application security testing suite. With its huge list of updates, the new version marks its most drastic evolution yet and a major overhaul of both its scan engine and user interface, adding advanced fingerprinting capabilities, enhanced spidering, injection, browsing and code scan capabilities, and a large number of new and improved checks.

Most of the improvements described on this page apply as well to the Community Edition of Syhunt released simultaneously today. If you prefer to read only what's new in Syhunt Community, visit here.


Revamped Hybrid User Interface

The new release adds the display of Hybrid, Dynamic and Code detailed scan statistics and progress both to the user interface and the command-line tools, and restores the site tree, implemented from scratch with the level of attention that it demanded.

New Fingerprinting Capabilities

Because of the so many vulnerability checks and mutations added to this version, we developed an advanced and automated fingerprinter tightly integrated with the crawler that automatically maps all the web site technologies and optimizes a scan - this means that Syhunt Dynamic 6 checks are now executed based on the detected web technologies and platform, saving considerable time. The newly added Technologies tab part of the Site Preferences screen allows, if you prefer, to manually set the server-side scripting language, web server, OS and database for a target web site before starting a scan.

In addition to the changes above, the Checks screen has been revamped to accommodate a large number of newly added checks - you can find a list and details about the new checks at the end of this page as well as a link to the consolidated list of checks.

Four-Step Vulnerability Rating

This release comes with a four-step vulnerability rating (High, Medium, Low, Info). We added the Info risk classification and removed the Minimal risk classification. Vulnerabilities previously marked as Minimal risk were assigned a Low or Info risk depending on each case.

New Hunt Methods

Malware Content - Added to both Syhunt Dynamic and Syhunt Code, allows to scan specifically for malware content, web backdoors, hidden debug parameters and signs of hacking.

Passive Scan - Added to Syhunt Dynamic, allows to scan specifically for Common Exposures, Source Disclosures, Web Technology Disclosures, Suspicious HTML Comments and Malicious Content within a website's surface.
