Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST): A Hands-On Approach

Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is a type of security testing that scans a web application for vulnerabilities while it is running. DAST tools send simulated attacks to the application and then analyze the application’s responses to identify potential vulnerabilities. DAST is a valuable tool for identifying security vulnerabilities in web applications. However, it is important to note that DAST is not a silver bullet. DAST tools cannot find all vulnerabilities, and they can sometimes generate false positives.
