[InfoSec News <alerts () infosecnews org>]

Forwarded from: Nenad Jovanovic <pixy-noreply (at) seclab.tuwien.ac.at>

The Secure Systems Lab at the Technical University of Vienna has 
released the newest version of Pixy, an open-source vulnerability 
scanner. Here are some of the highlights:

- detection of SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities in PHP source code

- automatic resolution of file inclusions

- computation of dependence graphs that help you understand the causes 
  of reported vulnerabilities

- static analysis engine (flow-sensitive, interprocedural, 
  context-sensitive)

- platform-independent (written in Java)

Pixy can be downloaded for free from 
http://pixybox.seclab.tuwien.ac.at/. There, you can also find a web 
interface that allows you to test Pixy online. Enjoy!

We would be happy to receive feedback, comments, and other 
contributions! Please send your suggestions to "pixy-tool at seclab" 
(domain see below).
