Repérer automatiquement les failles de sécurité des sites Internet

by fredbird
Le logiciel, dénommé SecuBat Framework, agit comme le ferait un pirate informatique: il attaque les sites web dynamiques afin d'identifier les forces et faiblesses de leurs systèmes de sécurité. Il les sollicite par des attaques croisées XSS (Cross-Site Scripting Attacks) ou par des injections SQL, c'est-à-dire en insérant des scripts Javascript ou des fragments de code SQL dans leurs formulaires, pour interroger leurs bases de données ou modifier leurs pages.

Some of these get included in policies, and thus may get propagated to environments they were not meant to address. It is also the case that as technology changes, the underlying (and unstated) assumptions underlying these bits of conventional wisdom also change. The result is a stale policy that may no longer be effective…or possibly even dangerous.

We have been well conditioned to recognize and delete the endless stream of spam, phishing attempts, Nigerian scams, and virus attacks we get every day in our inboxes. We have been so far behind for so long in the battle with computer security that we have almost forgotten some of the most basic insecurities that we put up with day after day.
