Abstract

With the continuous development of Web technology and the sustained popularization of the Internet, the security problems of the Web has been attracting more and more attention from the network workers. According to the OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project), XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) has been among the top three vulnerabilities in a number of threats. Therefore, it is very meaningful to design XSS vulnerability automatic mining tools. Crawler, as a web data scratching tool, has been favored by search engine workers. In this paper, we introduce a dynamic parallel crawler aiming for XSS vulnerability detection, and the basic principle of XSS. Based on them, we designed an efficient XSS detection tool. Finally, an experiment shows that our tools can detect XSS vulnerabilities efficiently.
