		<description><![CDATA[News broke this week that one of the criminals involved in a massive global banking fraud scheme that relied heavily on the Zeus trojan to steal millions from both U.S. and European banking accounts will be sentenced this Spring.
The news reminded me of the relationship between malicious software (i.e. &#8220;malware&#8221;) and insecure software (i.e., &#8220;badware&#8221;). Criminals [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Planning to establish or reboot a static analysis capability this year? Use this simple framework to plan a new implementation or reflect on an existing program to improve maturity.
Over the years, we&#8217;ve learned that there are four primary dimensions to any static analysis capability:

Solution Architecture
Policy
Application On-Boarding
Vulnerability Management

It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;re considering building an in-house [...]]]></description>

Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards is #10 on the 2010 <a href="http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Top_Ten_Project">OWASP Top Ten 10 List</a>. Sites that are vulnerable often expose a servlet or server-side script that constructs the URL being transferred to using data that is received from the client (i.e., something that can be controlled by an attacker). A lot of sites simply accept a URL as input to the redirection script, and that's what gets them into trouble.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As a consultant who reviews code a lot, this statement immediately got me thinking about trust at the code-level. Trust issues are fun to think about -- not only because there are bookoos of trust-related issues in today's apps (particularly mashups) but also because they are difficult to mitigate through good defensive design. As a software design enthusiast, I believe we can apply the concept of trust attacks as described above to low-level module design (think the <i>Class</i> keyword in Java or <i>class</i> keyword is C++) by changing one word in the second sentence:]]></description>
