# Security Testing Implementation Summary ## Overview Implemented comprehensive security testing infrastructure with defense-in-depth analysis and automated penetration testing capabilities. ## Features Implemented ### 1. Backend API (`/backend/routes/security-testing.js`) #### Defense-in-Depth Analyzer - **Endpoint**: `GET /api/security-testing/defense-layers` - **Purpose**: Analyzes all 4 security layers with automated scoring (0-100 per layer) - **Layers Analyzed**: 1. **Network Level**: Docker isolation, rate limiting (5 limiters), CORS validation, firewall rules 2. **Server Level**: Node.js version check, Helmet headers (CSP, HSTS), dependency vulnerabilities via npm audit 3. **Application Level**: JWT authentication, input validation, RBAC implementation, session management, audit logging 4. **Data Level**: bcrypt password hashing, encryption modules, SQL injection prevention, database permissions, 2FA availability #### Penetration Testing Module - **Endpoint**: `POST /api/security-testing/penetration-test` - **Purpose**: Runs automated security tests simulating attacks - **Test Types**: 1. **Authentication Tests**: JWT bypass attempts, weak token validation, session hijacking 2. **SQL Injection Tests**: Query parameter injection, union attacks, blind SQL injection 3. **XSS Tests**: Script injection in inputs, stored XSS, reflected XSS 4. **CSRF Tests**: Token validation, referer checking, same-site cookie validation 5. **Rate Limiting Tests**: Brute force attempt detection, rate limit enforcement #### Network Security Monitoring - **Endpoint**: `GET /api/security-testing/network-stats` - **Purpose**: Real-time network security statistics - **Metrics Tracked**: - Active connections count - Blocked requests (last 24h) - Failed login attempts (last 24h) - Total requests (last 24h) - Rate limited requests (last 24h) #### Test History - **Endpoint**: `GET /api/security-testing/test-history` - **Purpose**: Audit trail of all penetration tests executed - **Database Table**: `security_tests` - Test type, name, status, severity - Findings (JSON), recommendations (JSON) - Execution timestamps, duration, executed by user ### 2. Frontend Dashboard (`/frontend/src/components/SecurityTestingDashboard.jsx`) #### Features - **4 Tabs**: Defense-in-Depth, Penetration Testing, Test History, Network Security - **Overall Security Score**: A-F grading with visual score display - **Layer Visualization**: Circular progress for each layer with color-coded scores - **Test Runner**: Checkbox selection for penetration tests with execution status - **Results Display**: Accordion-based detailed findings and recommendations - **Network Stats**: Real-time monitoring dashboard with connection/block metrics - **Test History Table**: Filterable test execution history with all details - **Theme Support**: Full light/dark mode compatibility - **Localization**: Complete EN/RO translations #### User Interface ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Security Testing [Refresh] │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Overall Score: 85/100 [Grade: B] │ │ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Network: 90 Server: 85 App: 80 Data: 85 │ │ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ [Defense-in-Depth] [Penetration Testing] │ │ [Test History] [Network Security] │ ├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Tab Content Area │ │ - Defense Layers: Expandable checks with status │ │ - Penetration Tests: Select and run tests │ │ - History: Table of past test executions │ │ - Network Stats: Real-time security monitoring │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ### 3.
