Pentesting Bot is an automated web security audit tool developed using Node.js and Puppeteer. It is designed to identify common vulnerabilities within web applications by simulating potential attack vectors. By automating the testing process, it reduces the time and effort required for manual security assessments.
The tool can detect weaknesses such as cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and other frequent security issues that can compromise application integrity. Its use of Puppeteer allows it to interact with web pages similarly to a human user, enabling dynamic testing of client-side vulnerabilities. Pentesting Bot aims to support developers and security teams by providing a streamlined method for early vulnerability detection, thereby improving the overall security posture of web applications. It is particularly useful in continuous integration and development pipelines to maintain secure code throughout updates.
