Abstract: - This project is a security framework that includes a backend server, a web application firewall (WAF), and a penetration testing tool to protect web applications and identify vulnerabilities. The backend server handles data requests and responses securely using Flask. The WAF acts as a protective layer, checking requests for threats like XSS and SQL Injection, blocking malicious traffic, and forwarding safe requests to the backend. The penetration testing tool scans ports, detects services, grabs banners, and checks for known vulnerabilities like BlueKeep and SMBv3 RCE. It also generates reports with security findings and recommendations. Together, these components secure the application by blocking threats, identifying risks, and providing actionable insights for improvement.
