Abstract

This is the second part of two papers covering the topic of security testing of WEB based applications using agent technology that covers dynamic analysis. This research covers an integrated dynamic analysis technique and tool for detecting and preventing such security vulnerabilities in web applications. It is based on agent technology and written in Java. The dynamic analysis starts for tracking the propagation of user input in the program which helps to detect the vulnerabilities in the source code. This technique is extendable to the vulnerabilities in the similar class and source codes written in other object oriented languages. At the end, this paper presents a Java Web Application Security Tester (JWAST) which is an implementation of the proposed technique. Also a comparison of JWAST with other tools is presented.
