Title
VERA: A Flexible Model-Based Vulnerability Testing Tool
Abstract
There exist an abundant number of tools for aiding developers and penetration testers to spot common software security vulnerabilities. However, testers are often confronted with situations where existing tools are of little help because a) they do not account for a particular configuration of the SUT and b) they do not include tests for certain vulnerabilities. To cope with this we propose a tool that allows users to define attacker models where the payloads and the behavior are cleanly separated and that abstract away from low-level implementation details such as HTTP requests.
