Fundamentals of Secure Software - Running a ZAP Scan

This video tutorial demonstrates how to use OWASP ZAP to scan a Web Goat application. It covers setting up the environment, creating and configuring contexts, performing an active scan, and analyzing the results. The tutorial highlights the process of crawling and spidering the site, setting up authentication, and understanding the scan results, including potential security issues like SQL injection. The video concludes with suggestions for further exploration and optimization of scan settings.

What is the first step after logging into Web Goat using OWASP ZAP?

• Analyzing alerts

• Performing an active scan

• Creating a context

• Crawling the site

What is the purpose of creating a context in OWASP ZAP?

• To log out of the application

• To save the scan results

• To perform a quick scan

• To organize the site for further attacks

Which authentication method does Web Goat use?

• Basic authentication

• OAuth

• Form-based

• Token-based

What is the significance of adding a regex pattern for the logout response?

• To enhance scan speed

• To organize alerts

• To identify the login page

• To detect SQL injections

What is the purpose of performing an active scan in OWASP ZAP?

• To crawl the site

• To detect vulnerabilities

• To create a context

• To log in to the application

What type of vulnerabilities were detected during the scan?

• Denial of service

• SQL injection

• Buffer overflow

• Cross-site scripting

What does a medium confidence level indicate about a detected vulnerability?

• There is a good chance it is a true positive

• It is a low-risk issue

• It is likely a false positive

• It is a confirmed vulnerability
