CAT – Web Application Security Test & Assessment Tool

CAT – Web Application Security Test & Assessment Tool

Mar 27, 2011
CAT is designed to facilitate manual web application penetration testing for more complex, demanding application testing tasks. It removes some of the more repetitive elements of the testing process, allowing the tester to focus on individual applications, thus enabling them to conduct a much more thorough test. Conceptually it is similar to other proxies available both commercially and open source, but CAT provides a richer feature set and greater performance, combined with a more intuitive user interface. There are a number of differences between CAT and currently available web proxies. They include: CAT uses Internet Explorer’s rendering engine for accurate HTML representation It supports many different types of text conversions including: URL, Base64, Hex, Unicode, HTML/XML, SQL and JavaScript no quotes It offers integrated SQL Injection and XSS Detection Synchronized Proxies for Authentication and Authorisation checking Faster performance due to HTTP connection caching...

Thousands of Bank of America Accounts Hacked !

Mar 26, 2011
Thousands of Bank of America customers' account information could be in jeopardy after a major security breach. Christy Clark went to a Royal Oak drug store Friday, but when her debit card was declined, she knew something was wrong. “I was very embarrassed,” Clark said. She went straight to the Bank of America branch near 12 Mile Road near Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak to report the problem. When she arrived, she was surprised to see the lobby packed with customers who experienced the same issue. “When I entered the branch, that’s when I realized this was a bigger problem,” Clark told Local 4. Bank of America told Local 4 this involves more than $100,000 worth of transitions. Bank employees told Clark they issued a number of temporary debit cards to customers who discovered money was missing from their account. Two bank staffers said they were also victims of this crime. A spokesperson for Bank of America said they are trying to figure out exactly how widespread the problem is...

Google patches 6 serious Chrome bugs

Google patches 6 serious Chrome bugs

Mar 25, 2011
Google on Thursday patched six vulnerabilities in Chrome, and as usual, silently updated users' copies of the browser. The update to Chrome 10.0.648.204 also included two more blacklisted SSL certificates that may be related to last week's theft of nine digital certificates from a Comodo reseller. All six bugs were rated "high," Google's second-most-serious ranking in its threat scoring system. Of the half-dozen bugs, two were "use after free" flaws -- a type of memory management bug that can be exploited to inject attack code -- while a second pair were pegged by Google as "stale pointer" vulnerabilities, another kind of memory allocation flaw. As is Google's practice, the company locked down its bug-tracking database, blocking access to the technical details of the patched vulnerabilities. Google usually unlocks the bug entries several weeks, sometimes months later, to give users time to update before the information goes public. G...
