AppScan Activity Recorder

AppScan Activity Recorder simplifies web application security testing. It allows you to capture manual crawl, login, and multi-step data (traffic and actions) for an AppScan Dynamic Analysis scan.

Usage Instructions:
• Open a website to record its browsing activity in the Chrome browser.
• On the address bar, click the AppScan Activity Recorder extension icon to start recording the browsing activity.
• The AppScan extension icon blinks indicating progress in recording the activity.
• Tip: The extension icon’s tooltip displays the domain URL being recorded. This is particularly useful when you are accessing different sites in same chrome browser instance.
• Perform the browsing activity.
• Click the AppScan extension icon to stop recording.
Or
• Click Cancel in the chrome debugging message dialog box to stop recording.
• The browser prompts you to save the recording in *.dast.config file format.
• From version 1.0.3 of AppScan Activity Recorder, you can enable log window via the extension’s options page. This log window records cookies, actions and the requests being hit.
• From version 1.0.4 of AppScan Activity Recorder, you can start recording from a blank URL.
• From version 1.0.6, AppScan Activity Recorder officially supports the new Edge version released on January 15th, 2020 and downloadable from “https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/4501095/download-the-new-microsoft-edge-based-on-chromium”. Follow instructions in “To add an extension to Microsoft Edge from the Chrome Web Store” in this link: “https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4538971/microsoft-edge-add-or-remove-extensions” to install AppScan Activity Recorder extension in Edge.

NOTES:
• This extension will record browser traffic that includes request/response and user actions. Scope of recording is only for the current “active” tab where the extension is invoked. No activity is recorded for other tabs even if user switches to those.
• Before starting the recording, it is recommended to logout from the site; disable auto-sign in/ auto-fill from Chrome settings to enable this extension to record all Browser tab activity.
• Analysis of recordings from websites using HTTP/2 is not currently supported by AppScan.
• From Chrome Version 84.0.4147.105 (Official Build) (64-bit) released on July 28th , 2020, you will see the info banner lingering even after the recording is stopped explicitly via the AppScan Activity Recorder icon. Please note this will not hamper the saved recording or the extension functionality in any way. Chrome WebStore Dev Support team has confirmed this as an intentional change. Please click on “Cancel” to dismiss the banner.
