Mohammed,
That is a typical response from a dev team but unfortunately it's not the
correct and complete fix. It IS possible to screw up configuration in
.NET and have your web application still be SQL injectable, or XSS'able.
The true fix has to come from strong input validation and/or escaping
malicious characters and/or using stored proc's.
If they push back on these suggestions and believe that porting to .NET is
sufficient, put the right suggestion in the final report convince them of
the fact they they NEED regression testing after they port. And once
regression testing comes around just blow the doors off the app again
through the use of sql injection. This way you build from credibility,
make a very strong point, and make more $$$ from the regression testing.

Jas
Hi all,
I did a full pen-test on my client?s web application and almost I can get
all data and data dictionary information I need through exploiting SQL
injection vulnerabilities they have in many dynamic pages.
The question is when I discussed these issues with IT people they
recommend
not to solve any of them but just converting to .Net technology I?m not
familiar with Net tech. but this recommendation sounds weird to me IS
THERE
ANY WAY TO PROVE THAT THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS NOT ENOUGH TO PREVERT
UNAUTHRIZED ACCESS THROUGH SQL INJECTION (their platform IIS ,SQL Server
and Oracle )
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
