quick review of Pixy vulnerability scanner for PEAR users

Just a quick note, I tried out the Pixy XSS and SQLI Scanner (http://pixybox.seclab.tuwien.ac.at/pixy/index.php) on a few simple PEAR files. On the first, I got a java exception, on the second it was unable to resolve the simplest of includes (no ability to resolve include_path).

In short, the thing is useless for anything written using PEAR. Fun!

Wow, haven't looked at Pixy in about a year myself... good to see it's gone past 2.0.

Did you try the web interface, or did you download and run it locally? I had toyed with it about a year ago on some internal work code, seeing what it picked up, and I don't remember any problems running it.

If you downloaded it, look for me in the eclipse-usage.txt doc file
