“Basically when Netsparker identify a vulnerability it figures out how to exploit it as well,” continues Mavituna, “how to escape from XSS filtering or how to close the SQL sentence to start a new one, if it needs to add NULL byte (%00) at the end of the file name to exploit a Local File Inclusion vulnerability etc. Thus the results of a scanning are a picture of the real impact of the vulnerabilities where an exploit is found, the most advanced editions of the product provide reverse shells for the target host and download the source code of the web application. Netsparker accomplishes it’s job by going further than just a simple static research of attack vectors: Netsparker automatically tries to exploit, in a non-harmful way, the possible vulnerabilities it finds. When developers start to see more and more false positives they tend to ignore actual vulnerabilities as well.” “This is important in many levels,” says Ferruh Mavituna, the lead developer of the project, “especially if the user is not a web application security expert it’s hard to judge a vulnerability.

Netsparker focuses on the elimination of false positives as the main point of its vision of security scanning, with the goal of augmenting the actual value provided by automatic scans. Netsparker is an application for the Windows platform and this edition is the first one available free of charge. Mavituna Security has announced a new release of its web application scanner as Netsparker Community Edition.
