SecurityScan

SecurityScan is a static and dynamic application security testing tool designed to identify vulnerabilities in software before deployment. It supports multiple programming languages including Java, C#, Python, and JavaScript, and can be integrated into continuous integration/continuous deployment pipelines. The tool performs automated code analysis, cross‑reference scanning, and scenario‑based runtime testing to detect common weaknesses such as SQL injection, cross‑site scripting, buffer overflows, and insecure configurations.

During a static analysis pass, SecurityScan parses source files and binary artifacts to build an internal control flow graph. It then applies a library of detection rules that match known attack patterns and insecure coding practices. For dynamic analysis, the tester runs the application in a sandboxed environment where simulated attackers interact with exposed endpoints. The tool monitors memory usage, network traffic, and system calls for anomalous activity. Results are aggregated into a comprehensive report that includes severity scores, affected files and lines of code, and best‑practice recommendations.

SecurityScan offers a REST API and command‑line interface, making it usable in headless environments such as build servers or containers. It also includes a web portal that visualizes code coverage, vulnerability trends, and compliance metrics across multiple projects. The tool can be configured to comply with regulatory frameworks such as OWASP Top Ten, PCI‑DSS, and ISO 27001. Integration with popular version control systems, issue trackers, and code review boards allows security findings to be automatically raised as pull‑request comments or ticket items. The software is distributed under a permissive license that permits modification and redistribution by both private and open‑source organizations.
