The Web development team has discovered that the shopping cart application on the website is allowing certain customers to give themselves a discount on purchases. The newest member of the team who recently came from a job working as an auditor for a large security consulting firm suggests using two tools, a fuzzer and an HTTP interceptor. What issues could be checked with this software?

A. open ports that the application does not use
B. validate all input in drop down boxes and free form text field
C. access control to the critical modules
D. performance under stress


B
Explanation: HTTP interceptors are tools that can be used to introduce invalid input to see if the application performs proper input validation. Fuzzers introduce random output to assess the reaction of the application to the random output. Both could be used in this case to validate all input in drop-down boxes and free-form text fields.
