Garmr – Automate Web Application Security Tests

Garmr is a tool to inspect the responses from websites for basic security requirements. It includes a set of core test cases implemented in corechecks that are derived from the Mozilla Secure Coding Guidelines which can be found here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAppSec/Secure_Coding_Guidelines

The purpose of this page is to establish a concise and consistent approach to secure application development of Mozilla web applications and web services. The information provided here will be focused towards web based applications; however, the concepts can be universally applied to applications to implement sound security controls and design.
This page will largely focus on secure guidelines and may provide example code at a later time.

It’s a useful tool, combined with others to automate web application security tests to a decent, fairly comprehensive baseline. It was built to be part of a Continuous Integration process by the Mozilla WebQA team, but could easily be adopted by other teams and used in a similar way – it ouputs a JUnit style XML report that can be consumed by other tools such as Jenkins.
This is why it’s well suited to be used in a tool such as – Gauntlt – Security Testing Framework For Developers & Ops.

usage: Runs a set of tests against the set of provided URLs [-h] [-u TARGETS] [-f TARGET_FILES] [-S] [-m MODULES] [-D] [-p] [-d] [-r REPORT] [-o OUTPUT] [-c OPTS] [-e EXCLUSIONS] [--save DUMP_PATH] optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -u TARGETS, --url TARGETS Add a target to test -f TARGET_FILES, --target-file TARGET_FILES File with URLs to test -S, --new-sessions Create new Session for each test -m MODULES, --module MODULES Load an extension module -D, --disable-core Disable corechecks -p, --force-passive Force passives to be run for each active test -d, --dns Skip DNS resolution when registering a target -r REPORT, --report REPORT Load a reporter e.g. -r reporter.AntXmlReporter -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT Default output is garmr-results.xml -c OPTS, --check OPTS Set a parameter for a check (check:opt=value) -e EXCLUSIONS, --exclude EXCLUSIONS Prevent a check from being run/processed --save DUMP_PATH Write out a configuration file based on parameters (won't run scan) A TARGET is an http or https scheme url to execute tests against. e.g. garmr -u http://localhost A MODULE is the name of a module; resolving this path needs to be improved e.g. garmr -m djangochecks (Experimental) An OPTS field contains the path and name of the option to set e.g. garmr -m webchecks -c webchecks.RobotsTest:save_contents=True A REPORT is the namespace qualified name of a reporter object or a valid alias (xml is the only current valid alias, and the default) e.g. garmr -r xml An EXCLUSION prevents a check from being executed e.g. garmr -e WebTouch Disable core checks will prevent all of the checks in corechecks from being loaded; this is useful to limit the scope of testing.
