Overview:

The detection of Application-layer flaws within HTTP applications has become a major source of activity for many enterprise security groups. Source code audits are one means of finding these security holes. Many of these efforts to detect application bugs within web applications can be automated by using the Nessus security scanner in conjunction with the Security Center. The Security Center allows the security administrator to schedule and report on scans in an automated and distributed fashion. This paper will discuss the techniques used by Nessus and the Security Center to efficiently scan for application layer bugs. This paper assumes that the reader is familiar with operating a Nessus scan, web basics, SQL basic syntax and Active scripting (or CGI) applications.
