Dynamic analysis
HCL AppScan 360° performs security scans for web-applications for production, staging and development environments.
- About dynamic analysis (DAST)
  An AppScan 360° dynamic (DAST) scan consists of two stages: Explore and Test. Even though most of the scan process is seamless to the user, and no input is required until the scan is complete, understanding how dynamic scanning works can help you to better understand the role of scanning in your development process.
- Dynamic scanning (DAST)
  AppScan 360° can perform dynamic analysis of an application that runs in a browser or a web API. Use the configuration options available for a web application or web API in AppScan 360°, or upload an AppScan Standard configuration (template file) or a full scan file.
- AppScan Presence
  An AppScan Presence on your server enables you to scan sites not accessible from the Internet, and to incorporate scanning as part of your functional testing.
  - System requirements
  - Creating the Presence
    For private web applications, or for including a scan as part of your functional testing procedure, you must create an AppScan Presence, with access to the web application or back-end server, and to the Internet. Proxy connections are supported.
  - Starting the Presence
  - Configuring Private Site Server proxy
    If your private network requires the Private Site Server to use a proxy to connect with the web application or back-end server (internal proxy), or with the Internet (outgoing proxy), configure it as follows.
  - Configuring a PAC file
    If a proxy auto-config (PAC) file is required in order to reach the various domains in your site, configure the AppScan Presence as follows.
  - Renewing the Presence key
    When you originally download the Presence, it includes a key to activate it. When that key expires, you must replace it with a valid key.
  - Log files
  - AppScan Presence troubleshooting
    Troubleshooting tasks for errors found when working with the AppScan Presence.
- Recording traffic
  You can record traffic as Explore data for DAST scans using the AppScan Activity Recorder browser extension (for Chrome or Edge), the HCL AppScan Traffic Recorder proxy server, or AppScan Standard.
- HCL AppScan Traffic Recorder
  The HCL AppScan Traffic Recorder (DAST proxy) enables you to record traffic to use as Explore data. Traffic Recorder instances can be created on demand to record traffic that will later be used for a DAST scan.
