HawkScan (0.10.0)

SOAP API Support

Use the app.soapConf configuration section to specify a local or hosted SOAP WSDL to configure the scanner to scan your SOAP endpoints.

app.soapConf

All your inputs are belong to us

Set the app.autoInputVectors=true to ensure only the correct data types are used when scanning your API. This will help increase accuracy and completeness of the scan.

New OpenAPI Conf section

The app.api section is being deprecated in favor of app.openApiConf to allow for easier configuration and expanded options when scanning an OpenAPI based API.

app.openApiConf

OpenAPI scanning improvements

When scanning an OpenAPI-based API, HawkScan will automatically detect and configure any data driven nodes in your API spec. This allows the HawkScan to avoid rescanning repetitive paths in your site tree as well as detect and scan sub paths. The overall effect is a more complete and accurate OpenAPI scan.

Scan Speed + Accuracy

When scanning an API use the StackHawk Platform Technology Flags in combination with app.autoPolicy and app.autoInputVectors to get the most out of your scan. The combination will inform the scanner of the most accurate approach to attacking your application. We’ve seen a dramatic reduction in false positives, reduced scan times on large API’s, and an increase in harder to find vulnerabilities when using these options together on API scans.
