Abstract
Nowadays, web applications are essential part of our lives. Web applications are used by people for information gathering, communication, e-commerce and variety of other activities. Since they contain valuable and sensitive information, the attacks against them have increased in order to find vulnerabilities and steal information. For this reason, it is essential to check web application vulnerabilities to ensure that it is secure. However, checking the vulnerabilities manually is a tedious and time-consuming job. Therefore, there is an exigent need for web application vulnerability scanners. In this study, we evaluate two open source web application vulnerability scanners Paros and OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (OWASP ZAP) by testing them against two vulnerable web applications buggy web application (bWAPP) and Damn Vulnerable Web Application (DVWA).
