Foundstone S3i Free Tools

Foundstone S3i Free Tools
Some good security tools for the .NET framework from Foundstone. Notably is the new release (well, not so new anymore since I intended to blog this 2 weeks ago) of their .NETMon™. Here's a short description of it.

The .NETMon tool monitors the .NET common language runtime enabling developers to conduct detailed analysis of how the .NET framework enforces security controls, including setting custom profiling filters and logging of specific events.

They also have Validator.NET™ which enables developers to programmatically determine user input locations that could be potentially exploited by hackers and provides proactive steps to build data validation routines which are loaded into a protection module. The tool helps eliminate common vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting.

And SecureUML Visio template which defines a custom Unified Modeling Language (UML) dialect to help system architects build roles based access control systems (RBAC).

And instead of downloading all of these 3 fantastic tools seperately, you can also download their .NET Security Toolkit which consist of all of the 3 above mentioned.
