HP SWFScan decompiles Flash applications and searches the code for vulnerabilities and violations of Adobe's best security practices guidelines, said Billy Hoffman, manager of HP's Web Security Research Group. The tool works with all versions of Flash.
HP analyzed nearly 4,000 Web apps developed with the Flash platform and found that 35 percent violate Adobe's security best practices.
