GitHub Stats
About Lonkero
Lonkero is a professional-grade web application security scanner designed to minimize false positives through machine learning classification. It runs 126+ security checks including proof-based XSS detection (generates working payloads that prove exploitability), the OOBZero blind SQL injection engine, SSRF detection, and authentication bypass testing. The ML layer reduces false positive rates to approximately 5%, making results actionable without extensive manual triage. Written in Rust for speed.
About OWASP ZAP
OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) is the world's most widely-used open-source web application security scanner. It acts as a man-in-the-middle proxy between your browser and the target application, allowing you to intercept, inspect, and modify HTTP/HTTPS traffic. ZAP provides automated active and passive scanning, spidering, fuzzing, WebSocket support, and an extensive marketplace of add-ons. It integrates into CI/CD pipelines for automated DAST and supports full API testing via OpenAPI/Swagger import. Maintained by a dedicated OWASP team with frequent releases.
