WebApp Sec: SQL Injection and XSS testing,

SQL Injection and XSS testing,

From: IRM <irm_at_iinet.net.au>

Dear all,

Excuse me for this basic question. Just wondering in regards to the SQL
injection, is it sufficient to insert the input with "1=1--" to test
whether a site is vulnerable to the SQL injection? How much level of
assurance can we get by testing the SQL injection limited to "1=1--"?

If I am not wrong I guess most of the security aspects in Web
application are mainly around input validation. So I was wondering is
there any free open source software to automate all the input? Or maybe
a list of stuff that usually need to test? Say SQL Injection or XSS? Is
there a list of parameters kind of cheat sheet?

John,

Securing a web application goes far beyond testing the application using
manual processes, or by using automated systems and tools. Watchfire's
"Web Application Security: Automated Scanning or Manual Penetration
Testing?" whitepaper examines a few vulnerability detection methods -
specifically comparing and contrasting manual penetration testing with
automated scanning tools. Download it today!
