- Sep 5 - 11.3% Vulnerable to SQL Injection
- Micheal Sutton experimented with a survey of sites that have a parameter named "id" in the URL. He finds that 11.3% of them cough up a SQL error. "The statistics are significant as they provide evidence of the prevalence of web application vulnerabilities. Coverage of this issue has however been somewhat misleading as reports have suggested that it is a measure of what attackers are doing."
- Sep 1 - Don't blame the browser
- Client side applications are all intertwined, and a flaw in one may compromise the rest. But don't forget the web applications!
- Oct 25 - Michael Howard's advice from OWASP AppSec Conference
- Michael argued convincingly for a comprehensive application security education program first, then use of tools, threat modeling, and code review. His presentation and all the rest are on the conference page
- Oct 24 - Hackers get organized
- "Hackers have been breaking into customer accounts at large online brokerages in the United States and making unauthorized trades worth millions of dollars as part of a fast-growing new form of online fraud under investigation by federal authorities. E-Trade Financial Corp. said last week that "concerted rings" in Eastern Europe and Thailand caused their customers $18 million in losses in the third quarter alone. Another company, TD Ameritrade, the third-largest online broker, also has suffered losses from customer account fraud, but a spokeswoman declined to quantify the amount yesterday. "It is an industry problem. It does continue to grow."
- Oct 19 - MSDN Magazine AppSec Issue
- Great articles from Michael Howard and crew on Threat Modeling, SSO, Extending SDL, and an interesting article on SQL truncation attacks
