  • Patent number: 7765597
    Abstract: A vulnerability assessment tool that is operative to analyze web sites by simultaneously operating a crawling process and an audit process. Once the crawling process is invoked, the results are provided to the audit process. The audit process, rather than waiting until the crawl process is completed, simultaneously audits the web site based on the already provided crawl results. The results of the audit are also fed back to the crawl process to further enhance the crawl.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

  • Publication number: 20060282494
    Abstract: A crawler that is either based on an interactive mode of operation or includes an interactive mode along with one or more other modes, such as automatic or manual. Similar to an automatic mode crawler, the crawler traverses web sites, web content and links. However, if the crawler encounters a structure that requires human interaction, such as a form, a radio button selector, a drop down selector, a human verification test, etc., the crawler pauses and prompts a user to take action.
