Repérer automatiquement les failles de sécurité des sites Internet
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.
