Venari Provides Tools for all Security Roles
Organizations can scale AppSec automation from single-user to cross-platform, elastic deployments using containers, VMs or bare-metal hardware.
Browser-Based Crawl Engine
Venari crawls web applications using headless Chromium via the Chrome DevTools Protocol. The engine performs automated interaction — link clicks, form submissions, hovers — with full JavaScript rendering, shadow DOM piercing, and smart DOM maturity detection using plateau analysis. Convergence detection automatically stops crawling after 3 consecutive no-op iterations, ensuring complete coverage without wasted time.
Intelligent Fuzzing
The fuzzing engine tests 13 parameter location types — query strings, headers, cookies, request bodies, path segments, fragments, HTTP methods, GraphQL fields, and multipart forms. Context-aware fuzz rules detect SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), XML external entity injection (XXE), server-side request forgery (SSRF), and command injection with reflection detection and risk assessment.
Passive Inspection
Over 20 passive detection rules analyze captured traffic without sending attack payloads. Rules cover missing security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), cookie security flags (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite), sensitive data exposure, stack trace detection for Java, Python, PHP, .NET, and Node.js, API key leaks, and directory listing detection.
Nuclei CVE Detection
Integrated Nuclei engine executes 40,000+ community CVE templates against discovered endpoints. Supports dual execution modes — CLI subprocess and internal library — covering HTTP, headless browser, DNS, SSL, and network protocols. A DSL engine with 100+ built-in functions handles pattern matching, data extraction, and cryptographic validation.
Technology Fingerprinting
Automatic identification of 36+ client and server frameworks including Angular, React, Vue, ASP.NET, Django, Express, and Laravel. Generates CPE (Common Platform Enumeration) strings for each detected technology and correlates them against CVE databases for known vulnerability lookup. TLS cipher analysis and certificate examination provide additional server-level intelligence.
API Security Testing
Onboard APIs from OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, Postman collections, Burp exports, HAR files, or Venari's built-in intercept mode. Ordered playback maintains authentication state across API operation sequences. GraphQL-aware parameter fuzzing targets query variables, mutations, and nested fields.
Cross Platform
All Venari components run on Windows, Linux, and macOS. DevOps Edition server components deploy as Docker containers, virtual machines, or on bare metal. The .NET-based architecture supports RHEL, Ubuntu, and other enterprise Linux distributions for production scanning infrastructure.
Elastic Scanning
Scale security testing with concurrent, elastic scan clusters. Worker nodes run in parallel to scan multiple applications simultaneously or collaborate on large application scans via automatic load sharing. Orchestrator nodes manage scheduling, distribution, and result aggregation across the cluster.
Auto-Login
Automated authentication from simple credentials using browser-based login detection. For advanced scenarios — multi-factor authentication, CAPTCHA flows, or custom login sequences — recorded workflows automate the complete login process. Session state is maintained throughout crawling and fuzzing for authenticated scanning.
CI/CD Automation
REST API-driven scanning with JWT authentication integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines. Webhook notifications trigger downstream processes on scan completion. Scheduled scans run unattended on configurable intervals. All scan data — findings, evidence, traffic — is exportable as JSON, XML, or PDF for integration with vulnerability management platforms.
Tool Integrations
Import traffic from Burp Suite, Fiddler, HAR files, Postman, and Selenium. The Burp Auto-Mapper plugin feeds Venari discovery and vulnerability data directly into manual testing workflows. Source code analysis via Semgrep integration enables combined DAST and SAST coverage. Export findings to ELK, Code DX, and other security platforms.
Product Editions
