Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): Definition: DAST involves testing the application in its running state to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker. Purpose: Simulates attacks on a live application, examining how it behaves and identifying security weaknesses. ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy): Description: An open-source DAST tool developed by OWASP. Features: Capable of scanning web applications for vulnerabilities, including SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and other common web application vulnerabilities. Usage: Ideal for dynamic testing as it interacts with the live application and identifies vulnerabilities that may not be visible in static code analysis.
