ISA: System of Analyzing Web Vulnerabilities

Abstract

Information security is gaining more and more importance and space in this digital age. All of this is due to the great expansion of technology around the world, such as cell phones, notebooks, desktops, among others. This phenomenon directly influenced the increase in the number of people who are connected to the internet. However, this also means that more user data is available on the network and is at risk of being stolen at all times. Malicious individuals, using the anonymity and distance that the Internet provides, try at all times to modify other people who are connected to the network through attacks. These can occur in several ways, for example, preventing access to confidential data, being able to destroy, modify or even sell the information contained therein, invading websites, performing cyber espionage, or even cracking some service available on the internet. However, many ways have been developed to reduce these hacker attacks, which is important to highlight: having knowledge of how an invasion occurs and what are the most common vulnerabilities found on web pages. In this way, in order to know which practices should be avoided when, for example, informing and storing some data, thus maintaining the secrecy and security of your data on the web. Therefore, this work presents a tool that proposes to help, mainly, people in the IT area with regard to data security on the internet. The application in question is a web tool that scans and describes any vulnerabilities found in the verified web pages.
