Netsparker-web application security scanner

http://www.mavitunasecurity.com/netsparker/

We thought that if you need to investigate every single identified issue manually what’s the point of having an automated scanner? So we developed a new technology which can confirm vulnerabilities on demand  which allowed us to develop the first false positive free web application security scanner.  Powerful AJAX – JavaScript Support
Thanks to its comprehensive and powerful JavaScript engine it’s possible to simulate a real attacker successfully. This means it can successfully analyse websites that rely on AJAX and JavaScript.  Shows You the Real Impact
If “a picture is worth a thousand words”, then seeing the impact of a vulnerability is worth a thousand pages of report. Instead of only telling what the security issue in your application is, it’ll show you what an attacker might accomplish by exploiting it. Our scanner can exploit identified vulnerabilities with just a couple of clicks.

TinySharpZip – small library which has ability to create and extract ZIP archives

http://code.google.com/p/tinysharpzip/

.NET framework still lacks ZIP archive support so I created this library to allow .NET developers who needed simple ZIP archive manipulation functionality and not want to redistribute third party code as additional dll.

The library is written purely in .NET/C# and uses System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream to compress and decompress data compressed with “deflate” algorithm.

Please note: the library is very simple and does not support all features described in ZIP format specification from PKWARE(encryption, many compression methods, extra fields, etc).

TinySharpZip supports only ‘store’ and ‘deflate’ compression methods and can:

* create ZIP archives and extract only these archives programmatically
* extract archives from ‘trusted’ sources when you sure that ZIP archive format is supported

Again, the library is not intended to provide ZIP archive management functionality for end users and should not be used for products allowing to extract any ZIP archives. More sophisticated libraries (SharpZipLib, DotNetZip) or commercial libraries can be used for these cases.

There is no documentation for the library, it has very simple interface and I hope you will understand how to work with it from sample application and source code.
