Feasibility Study for "XSS Bug Hunter

Application"
Executive Summary

Project Overview: The "XSS Bug Hunter" application aims to detect Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
vulnerabilities in web applications through automated scanning and reporting, utilizing a
machine learning model.
Objectives: Develop a user-friendly GUI application that leverages machine learning to detect
XSS vulnerabilities.
Major Findings: The application is technically feasible with available technologies, has a
significant market demand due to increasing cybersecurity threats, and presents potential
revenue through a subscription model.
Recommendations: Proceed with the development phase, focusing on enhancing machine
learning accuracy and user interface for better user experience and detection rates.

Introduction

Background: XSS attacks are a prevalent security threat, necessitating robust automated
detection tools to protect web applications.
Purpose: Evaluate the feasibility of developing an XSS Bug Hunter application that provides
automated detection and reporting of XSS vulnerabilities.
Scope: Analysis includes technical, financial, operational, market, and legal feasibility.
Methodology: Market analysis, technical assessment, financial projections, and risk analysis.

Project Description

Project Scope: Develop an application that scans URLs for XSS vulnerabilities, provides
detailed logs, generates reports, and maintains a scan history.
Goals and Objectives: Enhance web security by identifying XSS vulnerabilities efficiently and
providing actionable reports.
Deliverables: Functional application with a GUI, user documentation, training materials, and
ongoing support.
Market Feasibility

Market Analysis: Growing demand for cybersecurity tools in the tech industry, driven by the
increasing frequency and complexity of cyber attacks.
