Methods for blind detection of computational vulnerabilities include the submission by a detecting system of potentially interpretable information to a target system; measurement of the timing characteristics of the output from the target system by the detecting system; and diagnosis of the vulnerabilities of the target system by the detecting system as based on the timing characteristics, optionally in conjunction with auxiliary data. Invented systems provide reference implementations of these methods.

Systems and methods for automating blind detection of computational vulnerabilities

A method for detecting remote file inclusion vulnerabilities in a web application includes altering of extracted resource references from a web application, submission of altered references as HTTP requests to the web application, inspection of corresponding HTTP responses, and diagnosis of vulnerability. A computer system or systems can implement the disclosed embodiments.

Method and system for detection of remote file inclusion vulnerabilities

A method for discovering the structure, state transitions, and patterns of behavior of users of a web application includes a method for causing the web application to make HTTP requests for resources from an external supplier; capture of the requests for the external resources; extraction of meaningful data from the captured requests; and analysis to draw conclusions based on the extracted data. A system of invention provides a reference implementation of the method.
