Socket Security Auditor Description

Application developers need to be aware that attackers can target these same client-server applications by "hijacking" the server socket. Insecurely bound server sockets allow an attacker to bind his / her own socket on the same port, gaining control of the client connections and ultimately allowing the attacker to successfully steal sensitive application user information as well as launch denial of service attacks against the application server. The Foundstone Socket Security Auditor application identifies the insecurely bound sockets on the local system preventing hackers from stealing valuable information.
