Security Audit

Run Vulnerability Scans:

  • OWASP ZAP: Scan for common vulnerabilities (e.g., XSS, SQLi).
  • Nikto: Test for outdated software or configurations.
  • SSL Labs: Check HTTPS configuration and SSL certificates.
  • Burp Suite: A comprehensive web application security testing tool that includes features for scanning, crawling, testing for vulnerabilities, and intercepting proxy.

Inspect Code & Configurations:

  • Look for exposed sensitive data (e.g., .env files, API keys).
  • Review authentication and authorization mechanisms.
  • Check for missing security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options).

Test for Malware:

  • Use Sucuri SiteCheck or Wordfence (for WordPress) for malware detection.

Manual Testing:

  • Test form inputs for SQL Injection or Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).
  • Verify session management and cookies security (e.g., HttpOnly, Secure flags).

Recommend Actions:

  • Patch outdated plugins/modules.
  • Implement two-factor authentication (2FA).
  • Harden server and database configurations.
