New PHP Interpreter Finds XSS, Injection Holes 66
rkrishardy writes "A group of researchers from MIT, Stanford, and Syracuse has developed a new program, named 'Ardilla,' which can analyze PHP code for cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection attack vulnerabilities. (Here is the paper, in PDF, and a table of results from scanning six PHP applications.) Ardilla uses a modified Zend interpreter to analyze the code, trace the data, and determine whether the threat is real or not, significantly decreasing false positives." Unfortunately, license issues prevent the tool in its current form from being released as open source.

No, it's not that at all. All they're trying to claim is that you can't sue them for copyright infringement for storing your content after you delete your account - i.e. it's more

- Delete Facebook account.
- Publish dead-tree book of your content.
- Realise Facebook still has your content available to users (e.g. if you mailed it to your BFF).
- Sue Facebook for copyright infringement.
- Facebook tell you to get stuffed, because you agreed to licence it to them.
