OWASP ASIDEOWASP ASIDE is led by [Jun Zhu] and Bill Chu. Other major contributors include [Jing Xie], Heather Richter Lipford, Tyler Thomas, John Melton & Will Stranathan. IntroductionASIDE is an abbreviation for Application Security plugin for Integrated Development Environment. It is an Eclipse Plugin which is a software tool primarily designed to help developers write more secure code by detecting and identifying potentially vulnerable code and providing informative fixes during the construction of programs in IDEs. DescriptionASIDE currently has three prototype implementations: ASIDE CodeRefactoring for Education, ASIDE CodeAnnotate which consists of two implementations, ASIDE JavaCodeAnnotate and ASIDE PHPCodeAnnotate. ASIDE CodeRefactoring for Education is an Eclipse plugin that aims to detect root cause of vulnerabilities that are caused by untrusted inputs get in to the application and be consumed without validation, and provide interactive code refactoring support for students and professional developers to learn secure programming practices and write more secure code. ASIDE CodeAnnotate is another Eclipse plugin which deals with a different class of vulnerabilities that are more application logic specific. Specifically, it is aimed at addressing CSRF and broken access control issues while the developers are writing their code. An older version of ASIDE DEMO shows you earlier design and implementation of CodeRefactoring, if you are interested in knowing. You will need Adobe Flash to display it. Research Activities1.

Quick DownloadRunnable plugins and installation guidelinesThe recent publicly available ASIDE CodeRefactoring plugin can be downloaded from here. You also need to download the complementary logging facility to make ASIDE work properly. ASIDE CodeRefactoring is built upon Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Version 3.5+. To make it work, please place the two jar files under the plugins folder of your Eclipse installation directory and then restart your Eclipse. The recent publicly available ASIDE CodeAnnotate plugin can be downloaded from here. ASIDE CodeAnnotate is built upon Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Version 3.5+. To make it work, please place the jar files under the plugins folder of your Eclipse installation directory and then restart your Eclipse. Demo of how to run CodeAnnotate can be viewed from here. New! We recently released a version of ASIDE CodeAnnotate plugin for Eclipse PHP Development Environment. It is built upon Eclipse PDT framework, you can download the plugin here. As it is still in incubator phase at this point, we recommend you to first install the configured Eclipse PHP package we provide on Linux, which can be downloaded here, and then place the jar file under the plugins folder of the Eclipse installation directory, and then restart your Eclipse. Demo of how to run CodeAnnotate can be viewed from here.

ESIDE
Introduction
ESIDE (Educational Security in the IDE) enhances the secure coding instructional process by turning the student's IDE into a real-time secure programming instructional resource. This approach capitalizes on the out of class, in the IDE time by providing layered educational opportunities whenever the student writes specific code patterns (i.e., vulnerable code) in a fashion similar to Microsoft's Grammar Checker. In this manner, ESIDE provides students with the opportunity to learn secure coding principles and practices concurrently with the lessons they are learning in their respective courses.
Description
Deployed as an Eclipse IDE Java plugin, ESIDE continuously searches for predetermined code patterns (e.g., request.getParameter();). Whenever a student writes targeted code, they are provided with an interactive system that provides a layered educational opportunity. Because students are contextually “in the moment” when the support becomes available, they are more receptive to making the connection between classroom principles and coding practices. A secondary effect is the exponential increase in instructional exposure which has been proven to be successful in other instructional areas. The overall goal of ESIDE is to serve as an effective means to educate students at every level on the principles and practices of secure coding throughout their educational experience. To this end, we have developed ESIDE's interactive process as follows: The moment target code is written, ESIDE initiates a layered educational intervention based on the targeted code. The first layer is a warning icon that is placed in the left margin of the code editor. Hovering the icon reveals a short message that encourages further interaction (Figure 1). When the student clicks the icon, ESIDE generates a content specific list of educational options. Each of these options are accompanied with a short explanation of the issue at hand (Figure 2). For each generated list, there also exists the option to access an explanation page that provides a more comprehensive explanation of what was discovered, why it is important, and how to integrate the provided principles into coding practices.

What ESIDE provides?
• Real-time IDE support for secure code education (Java). • Identification of targeted Java code patterns. • Interactive instructional opportunities for students in the IDE.

Priorities and get involved
As of October 13, 2014 the priorities are: 1. Developing more controls for faculty members to modify educational content 2. Develop a means to control when students are first exposed to warnings. Ideas include: 1. The tool monitors code and only provides warnings after the student has successfully written a particular code pattern x amount of times. 2. Faculty are provided with a means to unlock warnings based on student readiness. 3. Students are asked if they are ready for a particular interaction. Involvement in the development and promotion of ESIDE is actively encouraged! You do not have to be a security expert in order to contribute. Some of the ways you can help: Individuals who are interested in content contribution, usability evaluation or deploying ESIDE in their classroom would be wonderful!!
