From Security Perspective, the Quickest Way to Assess Your Web Application

The aim of this paper is to explain how to assess web applications with a fast, easy and effective method. A framework has been created as a Chrome Extension to solve two problems. 1. The first problem is when the IT team wants to know the security posture of their web application, but they did not have the budget/time to hire a penetration tester. Therefore, they can use this framework 'WPSecAnalyzer Chrome Extension' to check their web application scores from a security perspective without having a deep knowledge of penetration testing. 2. The second problem is when the penetration tester wants to do the reconnaissance phase, he will use many tools, which will consume his time/effort. Consequently, to reduce the time/effort consumed he can use 'WPSecAnalyzer Extension' to check many issues/vulnerabilities from one place with an efficient and effective method. The Chrome Extension which is called 'WPSecAnalyzer' checks and verifies eleven issues/vulnerabilities on any website the end user visits, and provides him with a report based on the findings. The report will have the score of the website, as well as a list of the findings based on eleven issues/vulnerabilities.
