Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

CWE Top Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses
Out of this frustration I've built: https://github.com/Endava/cats. It's for APIs, but mostly addressing exactly this case: don't use strings for everything, if you choose to use it though, make sure you add patterns for checking if things are valid, make sure you think about all the corner cases and all the weird characters that can brake you app, and so on.

API Security Testing
If the API has an OpenAPI spec available, you can use: https://github.com/Endava/cats

Cucumber Maintainer out of Job and future of the project is uncertain
This is why we need better tools which will give benefits for the added complexity. If you need to create both the feature files AND the code, it's just complexity with little benefits. But frameworks like https://github.com/karatelabs/karate or https://github.com/Endava/cats are hiding this complexity and remove the code layer entirely. Which, in my view, this is where you need to be in 2023, particularly for API testing.

Invisible Characters
I've built a tool specifically to test if these kind of characters will reach API backends: https://github.com/Endava/cats. My idea was that APIs should explicitly reject or sanitise input containing such characters.

I use ZAP [1] with the OAST add-on for this at the moment. I admit the UX isn't perfect, but it serves my purpose.
If I also want control over the responses (e.g. return a 401 status code for every fifth request), I have a custom extender script [2] for that.

What is API Discovery, and How to Use it to Reduce Your Attack Surface
Implement tools like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP for in-depth security scanning of your APIs.

Autorize – The most popular tool to discover AuthZ/AuthN flaws
The use of capital punctuation implies a warning? an alert? Would this same response be warranted for Burp which is also a commercial, closed source product?
If this is an issue for some, then ZAP being open source[1] maybe favourable.
That said, Burp is the defacto tool for a reason - it's best in class. Every pentester I know, including myself, has a paid subscription. The fact that it's closed source hasn't been an issue.

Show HN: Pākiki Proxy – An intercepting proxy for penetration pesting
Briefly reviewed your product. Seems like OWASP ZAP is your competition: https://www.zaproxy.org/
It runs entirely in the browser so it uses the browser "native" frameworks.

Vulnerability Scanning of Node.js Applications
Dynamic analysis involves testing your application while it's running. Tools like OWASP ZAP and Burp Suite can help identify vulnerabilities like SQL injection or Cross-Site Scripting by sending malicious requests to your application and analyzing the responses.

Is this fraud? And if so, to what extent am I responsible?
> Lying is not an embellishment or puffery, it's a lie. Engaging a company for a 3 day pen test that's totally insufficient, that would be an embellishment.
I agree, but if the RFP question was phrased "have you done penetration testing?" then that leaves a lot of room for embellishment. If the question is "do you have SOC2 certification?" and you answer "yes" untruthfully, then that is a lie. If they ask for the SOC2 or pentest report and you give them a falsified document, that's where you're (probably) committing fraud.
> One of the most important part of pen tests is that they are external.
AWS/Google/etc have internal security teams doing their pen tests, so no, this isn't true.
> Just doing your job as an engineer and looking for bugs is not a pen test.
What about an engineer spending an afternoon running ZAP[0]?
> It's like saying, "what is an audit really? We have accountants and they check our books for anomalies."
Yeah, which is why you don't just ask a company "do you keep track of your finances?" if you're investing in them, you request external auditors.

The essential security checklist for user identity
In addition to manual security reviews, you can also implement DevSecOps practices to automate security checks. For example, you can set up a CI/CD pipeline to run static code analysis tools like CodeQL and automatically run penetration tests using tools like OWASP ZAP.
