Episode 67: Web Application Scanning Tools
Web applications are among the most targeted assets in modern enterprises—and automated scanning tools are the first line of defense. In this episode, we take a close look at Burp Suite, ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy), Arachni, and Nikto—each of which plays a distinct role in discovering vulnerabilities like injection flaws, insecure cookies, misconfigured headers, and more.
We explain how to use these tools for authenticated and unauthenticated scans, how they fit into DevSecOps pipelines, and how to interpret their findings. You'll also gain insight into how web application scanning supports compliance and bug bounty programs. For CySA+ and practical web defense, this episode is essential for anyone responsible for identifying application-layer risks. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
