The YAWAST Antecedent Web Application Security Toolkit - Next Generation

yawast-ng is an application meant to simplify initial analysis and information gathering for penetration testers and security auditors. It performs basic checks in these categories:

• TLS/SSL - Versions and cipher suites supported; common issues.
• Information Disclosure - Checks for common information leaks.
• Presence of Files or Directories - Checks for files or directories that could indicate a security issue.
• Common Vulnerabilities
• Missing Security Headers

This is meant to provide a easy way to perform initial analysis and information discovery. It's not a full testing suite, and it certainly isn't Metasploit. The idea is to provide a quick way to perform initial data collection, which can then be used to better target further tests. It is especially useful when used in conjunction with Burp Suite (via the --proxy parameter).

Next Generation

This project is a continuation of YAWAST, as yawast-ng, to continue the project by the original author, years after the original project was ended, taking the project in a new direction.
