Introducing InfoWeb – An Automated Web Application Security Analysis Tool
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, ensuring the security of web applications has never been more critical. After years of working in cybersecurity, I noticed that many routine security tasks were repetitive and time-consuming. That realization inspired me to develop a tool that automates these processes and makes security assessments more efficient. I’m thrilled to introduce InfoWeb—a versatile solution designed to streamline web application security analysis.
What Is InfoWeb?
InfoWeb is an automated security analysis tool built in Python. It integrates several powerful security utilities, allowing you to perform comprehensive assessments of web applications from a single interface. The tool combines industry-standard programs to deliver features such as:
- Port Scanning: Uses Nmap to detect open ports and identify running services.
- SSH Brute Force: Leverages Hydra to test SSH credentials.
- WHOIS Lookups: Retrieves domain registration details.
- DNS Queries: Analyzes DNS records and configurations.
- Directory Discovery: Utilizes Gobuster to uncover hidden directories.
- Subdomain Enumeration: Scans for subdomains using Sublist3r.
- Web Technology Analysis: Identifies underlying web technologies with WhatWeb.
Features and Benefits
InfoWeb provides a powerful yet user-friendly way to enhance your web security efforts:
- Comprehensive Analysis: By combining multiple tools, InfoWeb offers a full-spectrum security assessment.
- Modular Approach: Select only the tasks you need via an interactive menu.
- Time-Saving Automation: Reduce manual testing and streamline your security workflow.
- Open Source and Customizable: With its code available on GitHub, you can modify and extend its functionality to suit your needs.
