Happy New Year all —

I wanted to share summary stats from the Dorkbot web application security service for December.

++++++++++++++++++++++

Dorkbot currently serves over 2,000 higher education institutions, state/local government agencies, school districts 
and other non-profits from across 7 continents (and 202 countries).

Those served include 99% of all R1, R2, R3, M1, M2 campuses and 100% of HBCUs and US Tribal Colleges.

[month = DEC 2019]

Total entities subscribed = 2,014 (+144 compared to previous month)
Total entities with verified vulnerabilities = 443 (22% of subscribers)

——————
Verified XSS vulnerable pages = 2,871 (-49%)
Verified SQLi vulnerable pages = 388 (-47%)
Verified LFI vulnerable pages = 28 (-63%)
Verified RFI vulnerable pages = 01 (-92%) 
Verified OSi vulnerable pages = 02 (-60%)
——————
3,299 total verified vulnerable pages (-49%)    


++++++++++++++++++++++
Vulnerability breakdown by campus classification
++++++++++++++++++++++

57% - Universities in Other Countries
18% - R1 Universities
06% - R2 Universities
04% - Universities in Canada
04% - D/PU Universities
03% - M1 Universities
02% - State Agencies
02% - M2 Universities
04% - All Other US Entities

++++++++++++++++++++++

Signing up for Dorkbot is fast & free. 
You will receive realtime alerts for any verified vulnerabilities along with a custom monthly report.

In the coming year, we do hope to fold in some additional functionality for basic Dorkbot-ing, namely:
 - editing subscriber preferences (exclusions, domains)
 - upload more targets to scan
 - Dorkbot kill switch
 - support for Intranet scanning (e.g., proxy variable)
 - and more if we can get the time

Please see the following for more information:

Feel free to share the signup page with any campuses, school districts, or non-profits that might be able to benefit 
from this service.


thanks,

~cam.
