ArcherySec vs Invicti

ArcherySec is a free, open-source vulnerability assessment and management tool for developers, penetration testers, and DevOps teams. It scans web applications and networks through supported tools, then brings scan findings together for review. Features include authenticated web scans, Selenium-based web application scanning, severity-based prioritization, false-positive tracking, finding deduplication, and remediation workflows. The product lists more than 80 commercial and open-source tool integrations; documented connectors include OWASP ZAP, Burp, Arachni, OpenVAS, Jira, and email. Its CLI can run in CI/CD pipelines and return pass or fail exit codes according to configured scan policies. REST APIs cover scanning and vulnerability management. The tool supports periodic and concurrent scans. Deployment documentation covers Linux, Docker, and Vagrant with Ansible, and the project provides Windows setup and run scripts. ArcherySec is self-hosted and distributed under the GPL-3.0 license. Users need to run supported scanners and provide their endpoints. The project advises against public exposure and recommends restricting the signup page in production.

Invicti is an application security platform for finding, prioritizing, and fixing application risk. Its testing engines cover DAST, SAST, software composition analysis, infrastructure as code, secrets, and container security. The platform discovers and tests REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs, including authorization flaws such as BOLA and BFLA. Invicti says Proof-Based Scanning confirms vulnerabilities with 99.98% accuracy. Findings are prioritized using runtime reachability, exploitability, business impact, and threat intelligence. DAST results can be correlated with SAST, developer ownership, reproduction context, and remediation guidance. Integrations include more than 110 tools, such as GitHub Actions, Jira, Jenkins, Azure Pipelines, ServiceNow, and Slack. Deployment varies by package; AppSec Flex includes cloud, on-premises, Bring Any Cloud, and air-gapped options. Compliance reports cover HIPAA, PCI DSS, OWASP Top 10, and other standards. Agentic Pentest costs $500, paid once for one application and its API suite, delivered within 24 hours with audit-ready PDF reports.
