The OWASP Stinger project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Stinger 2.2 for both JDK 5.0 and JDK 1.4! The following is a list of the notable changes:
 +
 +
:* Implemented a more complete MutableHttpRequest object and removed the MutableHttpResponse object.
 +
:* The rule set 'paths' are implemented used regular expressions. There is no longer a need to define multiple paths for specific rule sets.
 +
:* The 'created' and 'enforce' paths for cookie rules are implemented using regular expressions. There is no longer a need to define multiple 'enforce' paths.
 +
:* The introduction of an 'exclude' set defining paths that should not be processed by Stinger.
 +
:* Implemented log rolling capabilities in the 'Log' action.
 +
:* Added a 'Forward' action which can forward request processing to a specified page.
 +
:* Used the HTML entity encoding function found in the [http://www.owasp.org/index.php/How_to_perform_HTML_entity_encoding_in_Java HTML Entity Encoding article].

A special thanks goes out to John Callaway for his work in expanding the 'Log' action capabilities as well as the JDK 1.4 port.

Overview

Developers consistently implement sporadic, ad-hoc input validation mechanisms for web applications. Lack of a centralized and well-defined input validation mechanism opens the application to a variety of attacks: including SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting (XSS), and Command Injection. The OWASP Stinger Project aims to develop a centralized input validation component which can be easily applied to existing or developmental applications. Using a declarative security model, Stinger has the ability to validate all HTTP requests coming into an application. Stinger is such a simplistic yet strong validation engine that organizations have begun integrating it into their software development life-cycle.

Project Pages Revamped and Stinger 3.0 - 09:55, 23 November 2006 (EST)

The OWASP Stinger project pages are currently being "revamped" to be visually clean and make navigation more intuitive. Furthermore, Stinger 3.0 development is underway! Make sure to post any ideas you would like to see implemented in the new version at the OWASP Stinger 3.0 Project page.
