Abstract

This Report shows how I developed and deployed my web-based web app and network scanning tool that can be used to increase security of websites or networks for business owners or individuals, this project aims to make a simple user-friendly experience for people looking to perform security scans such as spidering or active scans on websites using ZAP, as well as performing networks scans on networks using Nmap.

The Key functionalities of my tools is that you can monitor different types of scans you have made, view the scan results, and generate reports in XML. All functionality is managed by sessions and secure user authentication which also allows you to find scan results you have made in the past. OWASP Zap uses its API to perform the security assessments while Nmap is used to perform network scans.

This project demonstrates how to perform network and web security scans through a web app in simple way while also being secure and making results easily accessible. I would like to expand the project in the future to make it more comprehensive and add more features.
