Application security testing is crucial to ensure the code is resilient to vulnerabilities. When it comes to choosing the correct methodology to application security testing the SAST Vs. DAST debate gets sparked. Both the SAST and the DAST approach detect different types of vulnerabilities. This article intends to build an understanding of when to adopt which.

What is the difference between DAST and SAST?

High-profile data breaches are a cause of concern for many organizations. Not only is valuable data lost, but, the effort and reputation the data brings to the organization are also lost, once the data has been breached by unethical hackers.

Hence, there are certain robust security testing techniques that can be applied, which in turn can prove to provide the required security to prevent data loss or getting entangled in any untoward cyber-attack.

In this article, you will get to know the differences between static application security testing and dynamic application security testing.

What is SAST (Static Application Security Testing)?

Security vulnerabilities are identified by analyzing the program source code. These vulnerabilities include external entity (XXE) attacks, buffer overflows, SQL injection etc.

It is an open-box testing technique. The software application is scanned from the inside out to discover security vulnerabilities in the code before execution or compilation.

The developers are guided by the SAST methodology, so that application can be tested at the initial development stages without a functional component being executed.

The application source code security flaws are discovered early by this approach and security issues are avoided in later development phases. This will in turn enhance the overall program security and decrease development time.

SAST testing tools:

1. Klocwork: It is a static code analyzer for Python, JavaScript, Java, C#, C++ or C.      

2. Checkmarx: Multiple programming languages are supported by this tool.

If serious security errors need to be mitigated and more secure applications need to be produced, then SAST can be incorporated by developers into their Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. SAST can use many use cases for creating more secure applications.

What is DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)?

A software application is evaluated by DAST. The actions of a malicious actor are simulated by DAST, who is trying to break into the application remotely.

Real-time software applications are scanned by DAST against leading vulnerability sources like SANS/CWE 25 or OWASP Top 10 to find open vulnerabilities or security flaws.

It is a closed-box testing technique through which an outside attacker’s perspective is stimulated. The application’s inner functions may not be known to the tester.

Those security vulnerabilities that cannot be detected by SAST, such as those appearing during the program runtime are detected by DAST.

A complete working application is required by DAST that is reserved for a later phase in the application development process. The application needs to be interacted by testers, check outputs, provide inputs and simulate other actions that are typical user interactions.

These tests make sure that the specific application is not susceptible to web attacks such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XXS).

DAST tools:

There are many commercially available DAST tools. Arachni is an open-source tool through which rich functionalities are provided. Scanning web applications are supported by Arachni’s Ruby framework for vulnerabilities.  

SAST vs. DAST should be strategically decided by the team and implemented tactically in order to derive beneficial results.

Conclusion: If you are looking to implementing SAST or DAST or both for your specific project, then do get connected with a globally renowned software testing services company that will provide you with a tactical testing blueprint that is in line with your project specific requirements.

For everyone who is in my discord server-

imagine you're watching barbie movies in a discord call and you get to the three musketeers and you see that hot air balloon scene and someone says scarian and then you black out and when you fade back in, ears ringing, blinking static from your vision, you discover 1.7k in your docs that wasn't there before anyway, have an unrelated teaser for an unrelated fic

“I’m not sure-” “Just toss me up a sword,” Grian interrupted, making grabby hands. Scar and Mumbo looked at him for a moment. Tentatively, Mumbo took out his sword, looked down at it, then up at them. He was sweating. Slowly, as if waiting for someone to stop him, he pulled his arm back like he was throwing a baseball, and tried to huck it. The sword arced, peaked, and fell a few feet away. Grian’s hands remained mercifully empty. They all stared at the sword. “…I can try again?” Mumbo offered. “Hold on,” Scar said instead. “Grian, I have a present for you.”

Two mins ago I tried grabbing my phone which was like 10 cms away from my right hand but ofc i can't use it so left hand se lete lete right shoulder pe stress aaya and i screamed and mom screamed from other room like "EK JAGAH HILE DULE BINA BETH NAHI SAKTI TU"
