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.

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.

CMV: The Second Amendment "right to bear arms" and the discussions surrounding gun control also apply to hacking tools.
I once had to give a presentation about Metasploit, and whether it was ethically correct for the creator to make it free and open-source, available to everyone. And in researching this I realized that there were a lot of parallels between the arguments for or against hacking tools being readily available and the arguments for or against gun control. I'll just list a few quickly:

Hackers Tools: Must-Have Tools for Every Ethical Hacker
Metasploit Framework (mentioned earlier)
-
Penetration Testing
This phase is where the pen testers practically prove that there exist potential vulnerabilities in the target system. The pen testers do the hacking using an array of technical approaches and social engineering methods to exploit the vulnerabilities. The ethical hackers commonly use Metasploit framework to automatically execute exploitation against the target systems. Moreover, they may install malwares such as rootkit to persistently maintain their foothold and further compromise the target system.
