7COM1039 Advanced Computer Science Masters Project

Introduction 

Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) is a tool for scanning during running environment. It is used during the build and test phases and it can run through delivery and production phase (Pekaric, Sauerwein and Felderer, 2019). This paper is dealing with some aspects of DAST using BURP SUITE tool. Paper has dealt with the different aspects of DAST and using BURP SUITE tool.

Aim of the Project

Now a day there are lot of security breaches in web world, the present project is aimed to protect such with help of DAST using BURP SUITE tool.

Research Questions

We know that BURP SUITE is considered to be choice of security professionals throughout the world. BURP SUITE has developed itself as global leader against cybercrime (Felderer et al., 2016). BURP SUITE tool has been made by PortSwigger as tool for DAST. We must keep in mind that the manual penetration testing cannot be fully replaced by any automated method. However, automated DAST Using BURP SUITE tool can protect one's online property to maximum extent (Alviansyah and Ramadhani, 2021). BURP SUITE as automated scanner becomes detector of many security vulnerabilities. Such augmented characters come the input from IAST (Interactive application security testing) and OAST (out-of- band application security testing). Upon the question which tool I better between DAST and IAST? For that few factors are to be noted while evaluated as fit for SDLC pipe line. After studying three data silos; people, process and technology these three research questions are derived for future action. What is the open- search support for configuration and fixing error? How is to automate it? How accurate is the tool? What percentage of results are false positives?

Objectives

• Burp Suite spiders a website quickly and usually finds the majority of the online pages. It allows us to not target any pages it finds during the scan after it has spidered a website (Kim, 2020). This comes in handy when there are areas of a website that we don't want to assault.
• As an initial step in spidering and assaulting, Burp Suite allows us to quickly log into a website (Rahalkar, 2021). This is advantageous to us because most of our websites demand a login before we can scan the interior pages.
• Burp Suite allows us to attack a website in a relatively short amount of time.
• It also provides enormous number of tools and add-ons.

Idea Conceived

While going through the above matters, it is being observed that DAST using BURP SUITE tool is the most effective security tool but still some remain unsecured. Therefore some methodologies are under trials to cover those gaps in web world. Among them are collaborative term between OAST and BURP SUITE tool, combining DAST and SAST (STATIC APPLICATION SECURITY TESTING). DAST and SAST are respectively known as Black box and White box. They are acting in opposite directions Still Professional are looking for some positive side for security purposes.

Conclusion 

This paper has broadly discussed about the tools to check cybercrime with special reference to DAST using BURP SUITE tool. Since no tool, whether manual or automated is meant for total security, a few more possibilities have been discussed. Therefore it can be concluded that further combinations which are mentioned in the paper may get priority in tomorrow's researches.
