Measuring Severity of Attributes That Create Vulnerabilities in Websites and Software Applications Using Two Way Assessment Technique

Impact Of Vulnerability Scan On Websites

Black hat guys or unsavoury people commonly known as hackers have an eye on our information. We can see in the past that educational websites, government sites or personal blogs(almost all types of websites) are the victims of the harms caused by these hackers who exploit vulnerabilities. As we know there are enormous number of websites which are flooded with lots of vulnerabilities, the chances that bad guy will break through the code for his favour increases with each passing day of software release⁴. Best way to save our self is to try to Hack Yourself First. This will enable us to know loop holes of our websites. Hack Yourself First can only be done by the scanners of websites as there are thousands of transfigurations which can’t be scanned manually. But scanning has its side effects too which can impact our profits. These impacts can also be trivial. Sometimes the scanning causes aperture to attacks while on other times the websites are itself faulty but our main concern here is not to find who is at fault but rather to find ways so that we remain the driver of our website not the bad guy. Precautions are taken for risk reduction due to the harms caused by scanner.
