  • b'STOCKHOLM, May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Detectify , the SaaS security company powered by ethical hackers, today announced the general availability of Ugly Duckling , a stand-alone application security tool specifically tailored for ethical hackers to make it easier for them to share their latest findings.\nFinding web vulnerabilities as soon as they emerge - before attackers exploit them - is critical to stay on top of web application security.
  • The Ugly Duckling speeds up the incorporation of vulnerabilities found by ethical hackers into automated security tests on Detectify\'s platform by giving hackers the tools to create more test modules independently.\nUpon finding a vulnerability, the ethical hacker can write a module as a JSON file and test it out in Ugly Duckling, to validate that it works.
  • Detectify then implements the JSON file on their platform, scaling the quality-checked findings to thousands of application owners and security teams.Using Ugly Duckling, vulnerability findings can run live as security tests within 5-10 minutes after they have been submitted.
  • Consistent with the company\'s belief in approaching security in a collaborative way, the Ugly Duckling web scanner is not exclusive to ethical hackers in Detectify\'s Crowdsource network, but available for anyone to use for bug bounty hunting, security research, or penetration testing.
