4 min readNov 25, 2020

The specialist cybersecurity team at Hacken is excited to announce the launch of WIRA, a breakthrough Web Infrastructure Risk Assessment product that intelligently safeguards websites against nearly 7,000 online threats. According to the latest figures, 2,244 online attacks take place every day on average — that’s around one every 39 seconds.

Furthermore, 73% of black hat hackers said that conventional website firewalls and antivirus software were is ineffective at detecting their attacks.

What is WIRA

WIRA is Hacken’s automated security scanner that provides the best possible level of online threat detection on the market and is capable of identifying over 6,800 vulnerabilities with almost 0% false positives. With WIRA, a full inspection of your website can be completed in a few clicks, giving you confidence that your platform adheres to the highest standards of online cybersecurity.

What WIRA Can Find When Scanning Your Website

Injection

The attacker’s hostile data can trick the interpreter into executing unintended commands or accessing data without proper authorization.

Broken Authentication

Application functions related to authentication and session management are allowing attackers to compromise passwords

Sensitive Data Exposure

Attackers may steal or modify the weakly protected data to carry out credit card fraud, identity theft, or other crimes.

XML External Entities

External entities can be used to disclose internal files using the file URI handler, internal file shares, internal port scanning, remote code execution, and denial of service attacks.

Broken Access Control

Attackers can exploit these flaws to access unauthorized functionality and/or data such as other users’ accounts, view sensitive files, modify other users’ data, change access rights, etc.

Security Misconfiguration

All operating systems, frameworks, libraries, and applications have to be securely configured as well as patched/upgraded in a timely fashion.

Cross-Site Scripting XSS

XSS allows attackers to execute scripts in the victim’s browser which can hijack user sessions, deface websites, or redirect the user to malicious sites.

Insecure Deserialization

Insecure deserialization often leads to remote code execution.

Use of Components with Known Vulnerabilities

If a vulnerable component is exploited, such an attack can facilitate serious data loss or server takeover.

Insufficient Logging and Monitoring

Most breach studies show that the time to detect a breach is over 200 days and the breach is typically detected by external parties rather than internal processes or monitoring.
