I doubt you'll fine one "best" program, as there's too much diversity. There's probably someplace running CGI written in COBOL. And somebody probably has a scanner for COBOL CGIs. But you'll never find that scanner in one of the "big name" packages, because trying to scan for *everything* is just too difficult - it's a lot easier to create a package that does one class of things well (find 90% of injections, 80% of buffer overflows, etc). If you're lucky, you'll find a set of 3 or 4 tools, which when used together, will do 95% of the heavy lifting for you. And remember that although programmatic scanners may be able to do a reasonable job against certain classes of well-understood bugs (integer overflow, buffer overflow, SQL injection, etc), they can't find errors caused by a programmer being creatively stupid (as opposed to just not thinking). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
