Uses Of Online Vulnerability Scanner Related To Web Server

The vulnerability scanner is used to check the SSL certificate, security of the HTTP cookies, scan for security configuration; it can detect web server configuration errors, and check for known script vulnerability. Two types of scan are done; they are quick scan and full scan. The full scan generates disturbances in the network which will be seen as attack traffic by the IDSs. Proper authorization is a must for performing this type of scan.
