Design and implementation of a web application vulnerability detection system

With the rapid development of the internet in China, we are dealing with web sites all the time, but with this comes the increasing vulnerability of various web applications. The vulnerability of web applications can be used to steal information, account theft and fraud, threatening the security of web applications. Therefore, the security detection of web applications is particularly important. This paper introduces the background of today's web application scanning technology, analyses the importance of securing web sites, and focuses on the history and future development trends of web application vulnerability scanning at home and abroad. The system is based on the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities of SQL injection and XSS, which have a large impact. By analysing the risks and principles of these two vulnerabilities, a scanning system is designed to run on the Windows platform.
