DongTai IAST vs Invicti

DongTai IAST is an open-source tool for finding vulnerabilities in running Java applications and their third-party components. It examines application traffic as it runs, using method-call data and taint tracking across HTTP, HTTPS, and RPC requests; it does not rely on dedicated attack tests. The project lists Java, Python, PHP, and Go for detection, though the Python, PHP, and Go agents are beta and community-maintained beta agents may not deploy successfully. DongTai can analyze runtime data flows, prioritize verified findings by risk, and provide vulnerability tracing and reports. Its server also offers project and user management, notifications, a Web API, and custom vulnerability rules. Deployment options include SaaS, localized installation, Docker Compose, and Kubernetes. An IntelliJ IDEA plugin can run the Java probe and detect vulnerabilities in the IDE. The open-source self-hosted plan costs nothing. The project lists web runtime support and an Apache-2.0 license.

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.
