Cybersecurity Projects Python React License: AGPLv3 Docker OWASP

Full-stack API vulnerability scanner targeting the OWASP API Security Top 10 with configurable scan modules and a React dashboard.

This is a quick overview — security theory, architecture, and full walkthroughs are in the learn modules.

What It Does

  • Scans REST APIs against OWASP API Security Top 10 vulnerability categories
  • Tests for authentication bypass, injection flaws, IDOR, and rate limiting weaknesses
  • SQLi, authentication, IDOR, and rate limit scanner modules with configurable payloads
  • JWT auth with bcrypt password hashing and session management
  • Scan history tracking with detailed vulnerability reports per endpoint
  • Full React dashboard for configuring scans and reviewing results

Quick Start

docker compose up -d

Visit http://localhost:8080 to open the dashboard.

[!TIP] This project uses just as a command runner. Type just to see all available commands.
