You should check out the paper at http://www.niscc.gov.uk/docs/secureWebApps.pdf It was originally a Blackhat training course developed by NGS Software, and now made available to everyone via NISCC. It covers web application testing methodologies around cross-site scripting and SQL Injection. -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of IRM Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 6:13 PM To: webappsec () securityfocus com Subject: SQL Injection and XSS testing, 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?
