  • Patent number: 11102229
    Abstract: An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented process for identifying a request invalidating a session excludes all marked logout requests of a Web application, crawls an identified next portion of the Web application and responsive to a determination, in one instance, that the state of the crawl is out of session, logs in to the Web application. The computer-implemented process further selects all crawl requests sent since a last time the crawl was in-session, excluding all marked logout requests and responsive to a determination that requests remain, crawls a selected next unprocessed request. Responsive to a determination, in the next instance, that state of the crawl is out of session and the selected request meets logout request criteria, the computer-implemented process marks the selected request as a logout request.

  • Patent number: 10901730
    Abstract: Identifying equivalent JavaScript events includes receiving source code containing two JavaScript events for equivalency analysis, extracting an HTML element containing an event from each JavaScript event and analyzing the extracted HTML elements. Responsive to a determination that the HTML elements are of a same type according to equivalency criteria B, and responsive to a determination that the HTML elements have a same number of attributes according to equivalency criteria C, a determination is made whether JavaScript function calls of each JavaScript event are similar according to equivalency criteria A. Responsive to a determination that the JavaScript function calls are similar according to equivalency criteria A, and responsive to a determination that the other attributes of the HTML elements satisfy equivalency criteria D, the JavaScript events are identified as equivalent.

  • Patent number: 9160762
    Abstract: Verifying application security vulnerabilities includes receiving a source code to analyze, performing a static analysis using the received source code and generating a vulnerability call trace for the received source code. Responsive to a determination that all static analysis results are not validated, mock objects are generated using the vulnerability call trace and a unit test is created using the generated mock objects. The unit test is executed using the generated mock objects and responsive to a determination that an identified vulnerability was validated; a next static analysis result is selected. Responsive to a determination that all static analysis results are validated, results and computed unit tests are reported.

  • Patent number: 8793346
    Abstract: A computer-implemented process, computer program product, and apparatus for identifying session identification information. A recording is initiated and an operation sequence of interest is performed while recording and the recording ceases. Responsive to a determination that the operation sequence of interest was successful, information from the operation sequence of interest is saved as recorded information and responsive to a determination that a same operation sequence of interest was recorded, the recorded information from each operation sequence of interest is compared. Differences in the recorded information are identified to form identified differences and a session identifier is constructed using the identified differences.
