WAVSEP2012

WAVSEP 2012 is a comparison of 60 commercial & open source black box web application vulnerability scanners, performed independently by the WAVSEP Project and published on July 13, 2012. WAVSEP version 1.2, the environment used to perform the WAVSEP 2012 assessment was made open source and published online alongside the comparative review (http://code.google.com/p/wavsep/).


Test Cases

The various scanners were tested against the following test cases (GET and POST attack vectors):

  • 816 test cases that were vulnerable to Path Traversal / LFI attacks.
  • 108 test cases that were vulnerable to Remote File Inclusion (XSS via RFI) attacks.
  • 66 test cases that were vulnerable to Reflected Cross Site Scripting attacks.
  • 80 test cases that contained Error Disclosing SQL Injection exposures.
  • 46 test cases that contained Blind SQL Injection exposures.
  • 10 test cases that were vulnerable to Time Based SQL Injection attacks.
  • 7 different categories of false positive RXSS vulnerabilities.
  • 10 different categories of false positive SQLi vulnerabilities.
  • 8 different categories of false positive Path Travesal / LFI vulnerabilities.
  • 6 different categories of false positive Remote File Inclusion vulnerabilities.

Results

The charts below display the percentage of vulnerabilities detected by Syhunt Dynamic and the other tools from other vendors.

XSS (Cross-Site Scripting)

Syhunt Dynamic achieved 100% detection of XSS vulnerabilities in the testing, with zero false positives thanks to its advanced filters.

SQL Injection (Blind and Time-Based)

Syhunt Dynamic achieved 100% detection of SQL Injection vulnerabilities (both Blind and Time Based). This time Syhunt Dynamic successfully performed Time Based SQL Injection checks, a feature not available during the 2011 benchmark.

RFI (Remote File Inclusion)

Note: 0 indicates that the tool was not able to perform Remote File Inclusion (XSS via RFI) checks.

LFI (Local File Inclusion)

Results (Commercial DAST Tools Adaptability)
