摘要:Software systems are prone to security vulnerabilities. Security is very important aspect of any software. In spite of security mechanisms available, there is increasing security threats revealed every year. This is a continuous problem with software systems as new threats are tried out by attackers. This paper solves this problem by developing a framework with an attack injection methodology which continuously discovers vulnerabilities in software systems and allows security administrators to resolve the issues. A prototype application is built to demonstrate the methodology. The application gets protocol details from networked server and makes attacks to discover vulnerabilities and the vulnerabilities thus discovered are persisted to a database. This helps in rectifying problems or fixing bugs in the software that causes security vulnerabilities.
