What is HawkScan?
HawkScan is a powerful automated security scanner that helps identify vulnerabilities in web applications, networks, APIs, and cloud infrastructure. It detects risks like SQL injection, XSS, misconfigured services, weak protocols, and cloud security gaps, enabling organizations to find and fix weaknesses before attackers exploit them. Designed for cybersecurity professionals and IT teams, HawkScan streamlines vulnerability assessments with comprehensive scanning, detailed reporting, and remediation guidance.
Key Features of HawkScan v1.9.6 Build 10295
1. Comprehensive Vulnerability Detection
HawkScan scans for a wide range of vulnerabilities, including:
- OWASP Top 10 Risks (Injection, Broken Authentication, Sensitive Data Exposure, etc.)
- Network Vulnerabilities (Weak SSL/TLS, Open Ports, RCE flaws)
- API Security Issues (Improper authorization, data leakage)
- Misconfigurations (Default credentials, exposed admin panels)
2. Advanced Scanning Techniques
- Dynamic (DAST) & Static (SAST) Analysis – Detects runtime and code-level flaws.
- Brute-Force & Credential Testing – Checks weak passwords and default logins.
- Fuzzing & Input Validation Testing – Identifies buffer overflows and unexpected input handling flaws.
3. Cloud & Container Security
- Scans AWS S3 buckets, IAM policies, Kubernetes clusters, and Docker containers for misconfigurations.
- Detects exposed cloud storage, over-permissive roles, and insecure APIs.
4. Automated & Custom Scans
- Scheduled Scans – Run periodic security checks without manual intervention.
- Custom Rule Engine – Define specific security policies and scan rules.
- API Integration – Works with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions).
5. Detailed Reporting & Remediation Guidance
- PDF, HTML, CSV, and JSON reports for easy sharing.
- Risk Prioritization (Critical, High, Medium, Low) for efficient patching.
- Remediation Steps – Provides actionable fixes for detected vulnerabilities.
6. User-Friendly Interface
- Command-Line (CLI) & GUI Support – Suitable for automated and manual scans.
- Dashboard & Analytics – Visualizes security trends and scan history.
