HP SWFScan, a free tool developed by HP Web Security Research Group, will automatically find security vulnerabilities in applications built on the Flash platform.
We are offering SWFScan because:
Our research shows that developers and increasingly implementing applications built on the Adobe Flash platform without the required security expertise.
As a result, we are seeing a proliferation of insecure applications being deployed on the web.
A vulnerable application built on the Flash platform widens your website’s attack surface creating more opportunity for malicious hackers.
How SWFScan works and what vulnerabilities it finds:
Decompiles applications built on the Adobe Flash platform to Extract the ActionScript code and statically analyzes it to identify security issues such as information disclosure.
Identifies and reports insecure programming and deployment practices and suggests solutions.
Enables you to audit third party applications without requiring access to the source code.
