Automated Security Testing

Automated Web App Security Testing with HTTP Proof

Nautillo Pro runs automated penetration testing across your entire web application — OWASP Top 10, injection attacks, authentication bypass, business logic abuse — and delivers HTTP proof-of-concept for every confirmed finding. In minutes, not weeks.

What automated web application security testing covers

10 attack categories — the same ones a manual tester would probe — run automatically against every discovered endpoint.

SQL Injection

Error-based, union-based, and time-based blind probes across URL parameters, POST form fields, and JSON API endpoints — baseline latency comparison confirms blind injection.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Reflected and stored XSS detection with encoded probes that confirm execution context.

Authentication Bypass

JWT manipulation, session fixation, token reuse, OAuth flow probing.

IDOR & Access Control

Horizontal and vertical privilege escalation across object references and API endpoints.

Command Injection

Output-based (echo token, id/whoami), error-based (shell errors), and time-based blind with baseline latency comparison — across GET params, POST forms, and JSON APIs.

SSRF & XXE

Server-side request forgery and XML external entity injection to detect internal access paths.

Path Traversal

Directory traversal and LFI to verify file system boundary enforcement.

CORS Misconfiguration

Origin reflection, null origin, and subdomain prefix bypass detection.

Business Logic Abuse

Workflow manipulation, price tampering, and authorization bypass tests.

Cryptographic Failures

Weak cipher detection, HSTS gaps, certificate issues, and insecure transmission paths.

How automated security testing works

Four steps from setup to a confirmed, evidence-backed vulnerability report.

1

Add your target

Confirm you have authorization to test the target. Typed consent and AUP agreement are required — equivalent to a pentest engagement letter. Optional DNS TXT verification is also available.

2

Configure scope and auth

Define which URLs to test. Supply session tokens, API keys, or cookies to test authenticated areas.

3

Launch — results in minutes

The platform crawls your app, maps attack surfaces, and runs goal-driven techniques across every discovered endpoint.

4

Get HTTP proof for every finding

Each confirmed vulnerability includes the exact request, the response proving impact, CVSS score, and remediation steps.

Evidence quality — not just a list of flags

The difference between a useful automated pentest tool and noise is the quality of evidence. Nautillo Pro only reports confirmed findings.

Exact HTTP request

The precise request that triggered the vulnerability — method, headers, payload — ready to reproduce in any HTTP client.

Response proof

The server response that confirms impact. If the response doesn't prove it, it's not reported as confirmed.

CVSS 3.1 score

Every finding is scored with CVSS 3.1 — attack vector, complexity, privileges required, impact. Comparable across runs and teams.

Automated testing vs manual penetration testing

Both have a role. Here's how they compare so you can choose the right approach for your situation.
