  • Patent number: 8918887
    Abstract: To diagnose vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, even for web-server devices that change the content of responses to requests in accordance with prescribed conditions. A normal-response collection means (10) transmits a normal request (REQN), accompanied by a registered user ID and password, a plurality of times. Said normal-response collection means (10) receives a plurality of responses (RESN) (hereafter “normal responses”) from a web server in response to the normal requests. A common-region extraction means (12) extracts a common region from the plurality of normal responses. An abnormal-response collection means (18) performs SQL injection on the web server, receives the response (RESA) (hereafter “abnormal response”), and records same in a storage unit (16). A determination means (14) determines that the web server has a vulnerability if the normal responses and the abnormal response are the same in the common region.

  • Publication number: 20060245663
    Abstract: There is provided a high-performance image-burr correcting system of a camera, which can improve precision of a focusing process, accomplish low power consumption, and shorten a release time lag. The image-burr correcting system includes an image-burr detecting unit which can detect image burr generated upon photographing; an image-burr correcting unit which can correct the image burr based on the image-burr detection result of the image-burr detecting unit; and a focusing detecting unit which can detect the focused result. After the completion of an appropriate focusing process is detected by the focusing detecting unit, the image-burr correcting unit is driven and image-burr correction is performed in correspondence with an image burr amount detected by the image-burr detecting unit.
