v0.63 is in the SVN

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

I just committed version 0.63 in sourceforge subversion repository. I don’t plan to officially release a JAR file… a lot of changes in just a week… It makes more sense to wait for 0.80 release in March… Next 5 Februrary I’ll take a speech at Italian Infosecurity in Milan where I’ll present more in depth Jericho static code review engine features…

@work we are not so busy at the moment, so I can spent some time hacking over orizon and the code I wrote is simply amazing.

I’m refactoring all org.owasp.orizon.core classes to embeded in each core element (such as a class, a method or a variable representation) methods:

  • to check for a security breach for a given Check object
  • to fill internal data given an XML node

Jericho engine is growing faster and Source class is day by day lighter and easy to read and to understand. I’m really excited about these hacking days…

Orizon 0.60 and 0.61

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Just 2 days ago I released Orizon 0.60 with a lot of improvements.

First of all the default library reached the psychological limit of 30 security checks (it includes 34 security checks).

I introduced also a reduce() routine that enable people in writing checks based upon method return type or variable data type.

Today I wrote down the piece of code that enable source file line number discovering during translation from Java to XML… I know it is more fancy if Orizon will display also the position inside the source file instead of just complaining about an error.

I’m really fine with the latest 2 weeks work..
