#yahoo has open-sourced Gryffin, a #scanning platform for #web applications.
The developers’ goal was to create a security scanner that will be able to both discover as much of the application footprint as possible (crawl phase), and to test the various parts of it for specific #vulnerabilities (scan phase).
What makes Gryffin special is the above-mentioned better coverage, but also its scalability.
“Inherent scalability translates to capability of scanning, and supporting a large elastic application infrastructure.
