Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)
Test your web applications for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities from the attacker's perspective. No source code. No agents. No configuration. Just a URL.
OWASP vulnerabilities Xentinel detects
Broken Access Control
IDOR, privilege escalation, forced browsing
Cryptographic Failures
Weak TLS, sensitive data in transit, insecure storage
Injection
SQL, NoSQL, OS command, LDAP injection
Security Misconfiguration
Default creds, exposed stack traces, unnecessary features
Auth Failures
Credential stuffing, session fixation, weak tokens
SSRF
Server-Side Request Forgery to internal services
How Xentinel DAST works
Discovery
Xentinel crawls your web application to map all endpoints, forms, parameters, and JavaScript-rendered pages — building a complete target surface before testing begins.
Active testing
Each discovered endpoint is actively tested with security payloads — injection strings, auth bypass attempts, SSRF vectors — in a safe, non-destructive way.
Validation & prioritization
Findings are validated to eliminate false positives. Results are scored by severity and exploitability so your team knows exactly what to fix first.
Frequently asked questions
What is DAST and how is it different from SAST?
DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing) tests a running application from the outside — simulating real attacks without access to source code. SAST (Static Application Security Testing) analyzes source code. DAST finds vulnerabilities that only appear at runtime and is the only approach that tests what attackers actually see.
Does Xentinel DAST require access to my source code or internal systems?
No. Xentinel DAST is fully black-box and external — it tests your application exactly as an attacker would, with only the URL as input. No source code access, no VPN, no authentication tokens required for external testing.
Will DAST scanning break or affect my production application?
Xentinel's DAST is designed to be non-destructive. We avoid payloads that could corrupt data or cause outages. For sensitive production environments, you can schedule scans during off-peak hours or point DAST at a staging environment.
