Ares v2.0: A Comprehensive Analysis of an Autonomous Multi-Vector Security Scanning Engine — Full System Functionality, Module Architecture, and Real-World Evaluation

This paper presents a comprehensive technical analysis of Ares v2.0, an autonomous multi-vector security scanning engine developed by Armourmind Infotech. The platform covers nine detection and operational modules: Authentication Vulnerability Analysis, Business Logic Testing, HTTP Request Smuggling (Desync), Container Escape Detection, Red Team Automation, Cloud Asset Scanning, Compliance Mapping, Attack Graph Construction, and Exposure Monitoring. Empirical evaluation against authorized real-world targets demonstrates autonomous detection of 12 findings — including 4 Critical and 7 High severity vulnerabilities — within a single sub-5-minute scan cycle. Comparative benchmarking against Burp Suite Professional, OWASP ZAP, Nuclei, and OpenVAS confirms coverage superiority across all evaluated capability dimensions.
