RE: Crawl And interpret Flash files redux

["arian.evans" <arian.evans () anachronic com>]

Thanks, a friend hooked me up with flasm right after
I sent the list request. :) I created some SWFs that
handle URLs in different ways, but the default way
(which I thought all the tools would parse) is to
pass in relative URLs through initialization variables.

Pure text, relative paths, pretty simple, but no auto
webappsec tool I can find parses this correctly. I'll
publish the SWFs & XSS generator pages after our BlackHat
demo, and get that into SiteGenerator templates as well.

In the meantime, here are some Flash/SWF resources if
anyone else wants to create/test parsing these type
of files:

http://www.osflash.org/projectsetup
http://www.mtasc.org/
http://potapenko.com/flashout/
http://flasm.sourceforge.net/

For Eclipse, Action Script Development Tool:

ASDT now has an update site that be used in the Software Configuration
Manager in Eclipse. This make it easier to update the plugin because Eclipse
can handle the download/install for you and let you know if a new version is
available. To set up the update site, use the following steps:

    * Open the Help menu, and select Software Updates -> Find and Install
    * Select "Search for new features to install" and select Next
    * Click the "New Remote Site" button. Use "ASDT" as the name, and
"http://aseclipseplugin.sourceforge.net/updates/"; as the URL (minus the
quotes, of course)
    * Expand the ASDT node that was added to the tree, and select
Actionscript Development Tool
