#37 Web Application Scanners with Aleksei Stafeev

Web applications are powering the Internet of today. But how do you
look for bugs and vulnerabilities in these apps to make sure they
are secure? Easy – you automate the process, of course. But
traditional scanners are struggling to automatically access all
parts of these increasingly complicated apps. Introducing: the
YuraScanner! Developed by Aleksei Stafeev and his colleagues, this
new type of scanner leverages ChatGPT to scan apps in a more
"human-like" fashion. In this episode, Aleksei joins us to talk
about how he got into web security research in the first place, why
reliable automatic testing is so important and why his new scanner
might even work a little bit too well in some cases.
