About Joomla Security Testing

Joomla Security Testing is an essential part of managing any Joomla based site. Joomla is a popular open source content management system, making it a popular target for attackers. Any sufficiently popular software is probed and attacked by both automated scripts (bots) and more targeted attackers.

Our range of online web security testing for Joomla and other web platforms has you covered for a variety of use cases.

The freely available tools perform analysis from a simple page grab. Through the examination of the HTML source code, javascript, and a few other open publicly accessible pages it is possible to gain immediate insights into the state of security on the target site. This is without sending any aggressive security scanning, using only passive analysis methods.

Our second form of scanning involves using active security testing tools (OpenVAS, Nikto, JoomlaVS are examples) that send hundreds of requests against the target site to find security issues (vulnerabilities) that are not immediately apparent from passive analysis.

About the JoomlaVS Project

JoomlaVS is an open source project developed in ruby. One of the things we love about open source security solutions is that you can not only run the tool and get results; but also dig into the code and understand what is being tested and why it is being tested. By understanding the issues, you are better equipped to secure your systems and web properties.

To run the tool locally for yourself grab the latest version from github.

In the past we also hosted the OWASP Joomla Vulnerability Scanner which was developed back in 2009 and was last updated in 2012. Since 2012 there have been no new releases. This means the database is quite out of date and the tool will not detect newer vulnerabilities.

For more information visit the sourceforge page or the OWASP project page.
