To run a DAST scan, target your staging web application URL and provide authentication credentials like form-based logins to OWASP ZAP for active probing. The scan will uncover runtime vulnerabilities and generate a remediation report in your chosen format.

Dynamic application security testing identifies runtime vulnerabilities in live web apps and APIs that static analysis cannot detect. You need it to actively probe running sites, including SPAs and REST or GraphQL APIs, preventing security breaches before production.

Yes, you can configure API tokens or OAuth flows to scan protected REST APIs with Burp Suite. This authenticated testing allows the DAST scanner to actively probe and fuzz protected resources to uncover runtime vulnerabilities.

You can generate SARIF reports from Nuclei scans to integrate dynamic security testing results directly into CI/CD pipelines and issue trackers. The Skill produces detailed remediation reports in HTML, JSON, or SARIF formats for this purpose.

Yes, dynamic application security testing actively probes single page applications and GraphQL APIs to uncover runtime vulnerabilities. It targets running sites by using tools like OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, or Nuclei for active probing and fuzzing.

Your DAST scan requires login credentials for form-based authentication to access and scan protected resources. Providing valid credentials allows the scanner to actively probe authenticated areas of the web application or API to uncover runtime vulnerabilities.
