OWASP ASIDE Project

Main
This project is led by [Jing Xie] & Bill Chu. Other major contributors include Jun Zhu, Heather Richter Lipford, John Melton & Will Stranathan.

New: Our submission to AppSecUSA2012 has been accepted. We'd look forward to meeting with those who are interested in our idea and project.

We have presented our talk Secure Programming Support in IDE at AppSec USA 2011 in Minneapolis. Although the resources are not available anymore, you can still view and download our presentation here.

Take a Look
ASIDE is still under development. But in order to give you a sense of what it should be doing, we have this old version of ASIDE DEMO. You will need Adobe Flash to display it. A newer version will soon be uploaded.

Download
The first publicly available ASIDE can be downloaded now. You also need to download the complementary logging facility to make ASIDE work properly. ASIDE is built upon Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Version 3.5+.

To make it work, please place the two jar files under the plugins folder of your Eclipse installation directory and then restart your Eclipse.
