+## Security Testing with StackHawk
+
+🔒 **This repository is integrated with [StackHawk](https://stackhawk.com/) for automated security testing.**
+
+StackHawk performs dynamic application security testing (DAST) to identify GraphQL vulnerabilities including injection flaws, authentication bypasses, and GraphQL-specific security issues.
+
+📋 **[View complete StackHawk integration guide →](STACKHAWK.md)**
+
+### Quick Start Security Testing
+```bash
+# Set your StackHawk API key
+export HAWK_API_KEY="your-api-key"
+
+# Start the vulnerable API
+SERVER_PORT=3000 docker-compose up -d
+
+# Run security scan
+hawk scan stackhawk.yml
+
+# View results at https://app.stackhawk.com/
+```

 ## Docker Build
 
  - Make sure _docker-compose_ is present on the system.

+# StackHawk Security Testing Integration
+
+This repository is integrated with [StackHawk](https://stackhawk.com/) for automated security testing of the vulnerable GraphQL API. StackHawk performs dynamic application security testing (DAST) to identify vulnerabilities in running applications.
+
+## Overview
+
+StackHawk scans this vulnerable GraphQL API to demonstrate security testing capabilities and identify common GraphQL vulnerabilities including:
+
+- **Injection vulnerabilities** (SQL injection, NoSQL injection)
+- **Authentication and authorization flaws**
+- **Information disclosure**
+- **GraphQL-specific vulnerabilities** (query depth attacks, introspection enabled)
+- **Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)**
+- **Insecure direct object references**
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+### `stackhawk.yml`
+Main configuration file for local development and comprehensive security testing:
+- **Application ID**: `a919a264-de99-4087-b3b4-5939104caf9f`
+- **Environment**: Development
+- **Host**: `http://localhost:3000`
+- **GraphQL Configuration**: Enabled with introspection and deep query testing
+- **Failure Threshold**: High (only fails on high-severity vulnerabilities)
+
+### `stackhawk-github.yml`
+GitHub Actions-specific configuration optimized for CI/CD:
+- **Environment**: GitHub
+- **Host**: `http://vuln-graphql:3000` (Docker network)
+- **Optimized scan duration** for faster CI/CD pipeline execution
+
+## GitHub Actions Integration
+
+The repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow (`.github/workflows/hawkscan.yml`) that:
+
+1. **Triggers on**:
+   - Push events to `main` and `master` branches
+   - Pull requests to `main` and `master` branches
+
+2. **Workflow steps**:
+   - Checks out the code
+   - Builds and starts the vulnerable GraphQL API using Docker Compose
+   - Runs StackHawk security scan using the official StackHawk GitHub Action
+   - Uploads results to GitHub Security tab (if enabled)
+   - Provides scan results and dashboard links
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Required Secrets
+Add the following secret to your GitHub repository:
+
+- `HAWK_API_KEY`: Your StackHawk API key (get it from [StackHawk Dashboard](https://app.stackhawk.com/))
+
+### Setting up the API Key
+1. Go to [StackHawk Dashboard](https://app.stackhawk.com/)
+2. Navigate to **Settings** → **API Keys**
+3. Create or copy your API key
+4. In your GitHub repository, go to **Settings** → **Secrets and variables** → **Actions**
+5. Add a new secret named `HAWK_API_KEY` with your API key value
+
+## Local Testing
+
+To run StackHawk scans locally:
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Docker and Docker Compose installed
+- StackHawk CLI installed (`npm install -g @stackhawk/cli`)
+- StackHawk account and API key
+
+### Running Local Scans
+
+1. **Start the application**:
+   ```bash
+   SERVER_PORT=3000 docker-compose up -d
+   ```
+
+2. **Run StackHawk scan**:
+   ```bash
+   export HAWK_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
+   hawk scan stackhawk.yml
+   ```
+
+3. **Stop the application**:
+   ```bash
+   docker-compose down
+   ```
+
+## Viewing Results
+
+### StackHawk Dashboard
+- Visit [StackHawk Dashboard](https://app.stackhawk.com/)
+- Navigate to your application to view detailed scan results
+- Review vulnerabilities, remediation guidance, and historical trends
+
+### GitHub Security Tab
+- Go to your repository's **Security** tab
+- View **Code scanning alerts** for StackHawk findings (if enabled)
+- Track vulnerability status and remediation progress
+
+## GraphQL-Specific Testing
+
+This configuration includes comprehensive GraphQL security testing:
+
+### Enabled Features
+- **Schema Introspection**: Tests if GraphQL introspection is exposed
+- **Query Depth Analysis**: Tests for query depth limit vulnerabilities
+- **Batch Query Testing**: Tests for batch query vulnerabilities
+- **Authentication Testing**: Tests GraphQL authentication mechanisms
+- **Authorization Testing**: Tests field-level and operation-level authorization
+
+### GraphQL Vulnerabilities Detected
+- **Introspection enabled** (information disclosure)
+- **No query depth limiting** (DoS vulnerabilities)
+- **No query complexity analysis** (resource exhaustion)
+- **Authentication bypass** in GraphQL mutations
+- **Authorization flaws** in GraphQL field resolution
+- **Injection vulnerabilities** in GraphQL resolvers
+
+## Customization
+
+### Adjusting Scan Coverage
+Edit `stackhawk.yml` to modify:
+- **Scan duration**: Adjust `spider.maxDuration`
+- **GraphQL depth**: Modify `graphqlConf.maxDepth`
+- **Request delays**: Tune `introspection.requestDelay`
+- **Failure threshold**: Change `hawk.failureThreshold`
+
+### Adding Authentication
+If the API requires authentication, configure:
+```yaml
+authentication:
+  sessionManagement:
+    sessionTokenPath:
+      - "$.token"
+      - "$.data.token"
+```
+
+### Environment-Specific Configuration
+Create additional configuration files for different environments:
+- `stackhawk-staging.yml`
+- `stackhawk-production.yml`
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Run scans regularly**: Set up automated scans on code changes
+2. **Review all findings**: Even in a vulnerable application, track new vulnerabilities
+3. **Set appropriate thresholds**: Balance security with development velocity
+4. **Monitor trends**: Use StackHawk dashboard to track vulnerability trends over time
+5. **Integrate with development workflow**: Use scan results to guide security improvements
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+**Scan fails to start**:
+- Verify API key is correctly set
+- Check if application is accessible at configured host
+- Ensure Docker containers are running
+
+**No vulnerabilities found**:
+- Verify GraphQL endpoint is accessible at `/graphql`
+- Check if application started correctly
+- Review StackHawk logs for connection issues
+
+**High scan duration**:
+- Reduce `maxDepth` in GraphQL configuration
+- Decrease `spider.maxDuration`
+- Limit scan scope with URL filters
+
+### Getting Help
+- [StackHawk Documentation](https://docs.stackhawk.com/)
+- [StackHawk Support](https://docs.stackhawk.com/contact/)
+- [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/stackhawk/vuln-graphql-api/issues)
+
+## Security Note
+
+⚠️ **This is a vulnerable application for testing purposes only.**
+
+Do not deploy this application in production environments. It contains intentional security vulnerabilities for demonstration and testing of security scanning tools.
