I created a MOD from the code offered to work with the ASP Microsoft Analyzer we were talking about here: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=67379
One part of the MOD lists all of the files in your forum directory and adds some syntax to the output of the list to work with the Analyzer. The other part works when you save the output as a .bat file and then run the .bat file. The .bat file triggers the Analyzer to analyze each .asp file in the forum directory. It pauses between each file.
Like Rui said, it won't catch every hole, but it will catch what it can.
What I am worried about is whether I should make the MOD public or would it pose too much of a security risk to current MOD users?
Any thoughts on this?

I would not release it as a 'MOD' per say, since you will almost certainly only be able to run this against a local copy of your forum files, so for some people (not everyone has a local running copy of their forum) it would be completely useless 
I think it would be better for say SnitzBitz or here we had a list which indicated whether a particular version of a mod had been tested or not< |

I think I understand ... I think. LOL!
So, are you saying that instead of releasing the MOD I made as a MOD in and of itself, that when a MOD is released, the MOD itself should indicate whether or not it was tested using my MOD (or some form of it)? Something like that?< |

| LOL - I'll be happy to do it. Since I'm retired military, I'm well used to being "volunteered".< |

excellent, I do like someone who is willing to be "volunteered"
I guess we should work out a strategy for doing it then.
My suggestion would be to set up a forum where MOD authors can post a request to have a mod checked, together with a link to the code, and carefree can then test them and say whethere or not they pass (obviously a pass is no guarentee and just because we test and pass them does not indicate we endorsed the code in any way)
No other posts will be allowed, and MOD authors who badger carefree for there MODS to be tested will be dealt with severely (only ONE post per MOD will be permitted).
obviously if anyone has any objections or would like to volunteer to help Carefree then please speak up.< |
