Microsoft has just released a free utility to help developers analyze ASP code for SQL Injection vulnerabilities. Earlier this year, several public sites went down when hackers unleashed a series of bots to find and exploit servers where developers did not correctly code their applications/pages to prevent SQL Injection attacks.
Here’s what the utility offers (from the original page):
In response to the recent mass SQL injection attacks, Microsoft has developed a new static code analysis tool for finding SQL Injection vulnerabilities in ASP code. Web developers can run the tool on their ASP source code to identify the root cause of the attack and address them to reduce their exposure to future attacks. The tool will scan ASP source code and generate warnings related to first order and second order SQL Injection vulnerabilities. The tool also provides annotation support that can be used to improve the analysis of the code.
