with-the-beanshell.pdf
Assessing the security of Java applications, and particularly client-
server applications, can be a tedious process of modifying the code,
compiling, deploying, testing and repeat. This becomes even more
difficult when the source code to the application is not available.
What security testers require is an easy means of interacting with
the internals of a Java application during execution without
recompiling the code.
The BeanShell (http://www.beanshell.org) provides an interpreted,
scripting environment that can plug in to any Java application or
applet and allows users to inspect and manipulate objects
dynamically. This paper demonstrates a technique for using the
BeanShell to assess the security of a typical Java client-server
application.
