Hi Is there an application that can pass source code and report potential security problem and or the live site ?

Because every developed site is different, has different variables, uses probably flash/cgi/javascript and a MySQL/PostgreSQL/MSAccess Database and so on. There will be never such a program that can do your specific security test, or it would just cost thousands of dollars and would have to keep better up to date than the developer of your applications. Best thing is always to test it yourself! Write down what function you have and what it does, then think about how somone could breach in. I know there are some people offering such a service. Probably it's that what you search for ;) Greets Barry -- Smileys rule (cX.x)C --o(^_^o) Dance for me! ^(^_^)o (o^_^)o o(^_^)^ o(^_^o)
