Astra is a security analysis system and scanner designed to identify vulnerabilities and security flaws in REST API endpoints. It functions as a security testing tool that automatically detects common API weaknesses during development and deployment cycles.
The project provides a graphical interface for triggering and monitoring security scanning processes, removing the requirement for manual command line execution. This management UI allows for the oversight of scanning workflows and the retrieval of vulnerability reports.
The system supports the import of collection files to map endpoints and execute targeted security test suites. Its capabilities include automated vulnerability detection and mapping, as well as integration into DevSecOps pipelines.
