How do we protect Web applications from exploits? The proper way to deal with these types of attacks is by sanitizing the tainted input. Please refer to the OWASP guide to find out more about Web application security.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested in auditing a Java Web application, LAPSE helps you in the following ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Identify taint sources<\/li>\n<li>Identify taint sinks<\/li>\n<li>Find paths between sources and sinks <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>LAPSE is inspired by existing lightweight security auditing tools such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.darknet.org.uk\/2009\/11\/rats-rough-auditing-tool-for-security\/\">RATS<\/a>, pscan, and FlawFinder. Unlike those tools, however, LAPSE addresses vulnerabilities in Web applications. LAPSE is not intended as a comprehensive solution for Web application security, but rather as an aid in the code review process. Those looking for more comprehensive tools are encouraged to look at some of the tools produced by Fortify or Secure Software.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/suif.stanford.edu\/~livshits\/work\/lapse\/\">Read more about LAPSE HERE.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You can download LAPSE here:<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense#New468--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/suif.stanford.edu\/~livshits\/work\/lapse\/download.html\">LAPSE: Web Application Security Scanner for Java<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad] LAPSE stands for a Lightweight Analysis for Program Security in Eclipse.
