Web 2.0 for the Classroom Teacher
In 2007 Security researchers warned that Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX), a technology that many sites use to add Web 2.0 features, brings additional risks to the table for security researchers and vulnerability analysts. "AJAX is not necessarily adding more vulnerabilities to the landscape, it is making it more difficult for the scanner vendors to find the vulnerabilities," said chief technology officer for website security firm WhiteHat Security's Jeremiah Grossman, who is also a member of the Working Group on Web Security Research Law, the panel of experts has started to study whether researchers have any ability to play the good Samaritan and find security flaws in websites without risking prosecution. "The sites still have vulnerabilities, but they are harder to find." ~ SecurityFocus
