Access-control testing

Can your users reach what they shouldn't?

Broken access control is number one in the OWASP Top 10, and ordinary scanners rarely catch it because they don't know your rules. FlawStrike tests your app as each of your user roles.

How it works

Three steps

1Add your identities

Enter logins for the roles you want to compare, such as an admin and a regular user.

2Choose your checks

Select the kinds of access problem to test for.

3Review the results

See where one role could reach something meant for another.
