Dark Reading covers the upcoming release of free Firefox plug-ins that test common web application vulnerabilities. As with most security tools, they could be used for good or ill. “The ExploitMe tools — which are in currently in beta form — include SQL Inject-Me, which lets you right-click on an HTML field in your Firefox browser and inject it with SQL injection payloads, and XSS-Me, which works the same way, but with XSS. The tools developers also plan to release Web services exploit tools as well.”
