any common sql injection tool will make mincemeat out of most asp/aspx sites.
I really dont know how you can say ASP is so secure, as it has not been my experience as a penetration expert.try to google "login" "filetype:asp" go to a login page, enterr a valid username and 'OR' as the password... i say 20% of all asp sites are vulnerable to this simple sql injection technique.
simply dont know how you can make a statement as this.----- Original Message ----- From: "Nikhil Wagholikar" <visitnikhil () gmail com>

Hello All, Now-a-days lots of websites/web based application are developed in ASP.NET. ASP.NET implementation is considered to be one of the most secured implementation of all technologies currently available in the market. One of the reasons for this is ASP.NET's built-in powerful security feature, which doesn't execute any malicious inputs from the client. It would be great, if anyone could share their experience about hacking into an ASP.NET (basically ASPX) application through "Injection" vulnerabilities/attacks. Basically I wish to hear your views on: 1. What are the problems with ASP.NET built-in feature? (like <customErrors mode="Off"> by default). 2. What input can be given, that can easily/guaranteed by-pass ASP.NET's built-in security feature? (Ex: SQL Injection is still possible in ASPX even when ValidateRequest="true" is present) 3. Is there any tool specially developed for finding vulnerabilities in ASP.NET application from penetration testing/vulnerability assessment point of view? 4. Any free tool and thorough methodology, that could help one in doing source code audit/review of ASP.NET (ASPX) application? (I know one tool to be scancode.py) Thanks in advance. --- Nikhil Wagholikar Practice Lead | Security Assessment and Digital Forensics NII Consulting Web: http://www.niiconsulting.com/ Security Product: http://www.niiconsulting.com/Products.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This list is sponsored by: Cenzic Top 5 Common Mistakes in Securing Web Applications Get 45 Min Video and PPT Slides www.cenzic.com/landing/securityfocus/hackinar ------------------------------------------------------------------------
