Hi, Take a look at this list: https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/pdfs/asv_report.html , which contains ASVs. Thanks, -Ory

Web App Firewalls seem ok if you aren't pushing too much traffic and are willing to do spend the time maintaining it. Most of them seem to have some level of heuristics but I can't imagine there is no administration necessary. On the other side, however, having a 3rd party audit your code can be really expensive, not even counting the time it takes to remediate all the problems found. 2)That is still a controversial question. One of the SPI guys exchange mailed with the PCI committee who agreed the SPI pen test tool was sufficient. I have talked to a couple of auditors who do not agree. From what I understand this is still being hashed out and we should know better by the end of the summer. 3) Personally, I am looking at that as "in scope" code. Which means, only apps that deal with credit card data. 4) That hasn't really been defined. I am guessing we will get further clarification by the end of the summer or when the new standard is released. It is always possible that it will be at the auditors discretion. -Raymond Bubba Gump wrote:I have a couple of questions about PCI section 6.6. It states that companies will need to do one of the following two things: Having all custom application code reviewed for commonvulnerabilitiesby an organization that specializes in application security or Installing an application layer firewall in front of web-facing applications. I have the following questions about this requirement: 1. Assuming a company only has enough resources to do one or the other, which would you recommend, and why? Which option is the easier/cheaper route to compliance? Which is likely to lead to the most real improvement in security? 2. Would hiring a company to do black-box scanning andtesting of ourwebsites satisfy the first option? Or would we actuallyneed to havethe company go through our code line by line and review it for security defects? 3. Does "all custom application code" mean all of our credit card processing code, or every line of code behind every one of our Internet-facing websites? 4. If we go with the code review option and the companythat we hirefinds a bunch of issues with our code, are we required byPCI to fixall of the issues, just certain types of issues, or none ofthe issues?Thanks, Bubba------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Webappsec mailing list Webappsec@lists.owasp.org https://lists.owasp.org/mailman/listinfo/webappsec-------------------------------------------------------------- -------------- Join us on IRC: irc.freenode.net #webappsec Have a question?
