PHP Vulnerability Hunter v.1.1.4.6 - Automated fuzz testing tool This is the application that detected almost all of the web application vulnerabilities listed on the advisories page. PHP Vulnerability Hunter is an advanced automated whitebox fuzz testing tool capable of triggering a wide range of exploitable faults in PHP web applications. Minimal configuration is necessary to begin a scan; PHP Vulnerability Hunter doesn't even need a user specified starting URI. At the core of the PHP Vulnerability Hunter scan algorithm is dynamic program analysis. Unlike many vulnerability scanners and fuzz tools that rely on static analysis, PHP Vulnerability Hunter analyzes the program as it's running to get a clear view of all input vectors. That means better code coverage and as a result greater confidence in code security. ChangeLog: Added code coverage report Updated GUI validation Several instrumentation fixes Fixed lingering connection issue Fixed GUI and report viewer crashes related...

Wikileaks Founder, Julian Assange Hires Pirate Bay Lawyer Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange has fired his lawyer in favour of one with experience in batting for The Pirate Bay, according to a Swedish news report. Julian Assange has ditched his Swedish legal counsel and lined up a new defence team in readiness for a likely return to the country to face allegations of sexual molestation and rape against two women.

Olsson is reviewing the case already, but has little to say on the motives behind Assange's decision. " He'll have to explain his motivation behind changing defenders ," he told The Local. Samuelson previously represented financier Carl Lundström, one of the four defendants in the 2009 Pirate Bay trial, all of whom were found guilty.
