Hi everybody,
Does anyone have documents regarding security vulnerabilities related to applications developed in Lotus Domino? 
Specially, those types of attacks related to input validation, parameter tampering, SQl injection, etc. I mean those 
types of errors that are most common when programmers do not follow good security practices.

Best regards,
Manuel

This toolkit does similar things. Can launch from windows or stand alone
boot from CD and can mount NTFS volumes.
Have not used it exensively but also has everything you need.

Hi Craig,

Are you using any particular platform OS for the tools?  One thing that's 
caught my fancy recently are linux "live" CDs; in particular the Knoppix 
distibution based on Debian <http://www.knopper.net>.  The CD boots and 
runs in RAM and on a compressed loop filesystem.  Lots of apps like X, 
OpenOffice, along with security apps like nessus, hping, nmap, etc. are 
already on the CD...the kicker is the CD installs on a HD in about 10 
minutes.

Toss on a bunch of tools from packetstorm, owasp, etc. and you've got a 
nice portable, yet flexible, distro :)

Thanks,

Well,

I've now started assembling my own toolkit for application assessment.

When I have finished compiling, evaluating and using the tools I 
select, I'll publish the full list.....

What tools do you use for web app sec assessment and can you share your 
toolkit with the list?


Regards,

Craig.
