More Information
Summary:This research presents a novel framework for automated web application security scanning and information gathering using the Axiom methodology. The framework assists organizations and security researchers in identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in web applications by automating the discovery of publicly available assets and filtering targets based on initial responses, open ports and other criteria. The use of the Axiom methodology allows for faster scanning times and distributed scanning, making it useful for bug bounties and penetration testing. The framework's performance, limitations and challenges are evaluated. The research demonstrates the potential of the framework in improving the efficiency and scalability of web application security while emphasizing the need for proper configuration and ethical considerations.
