Deploy Invicti Shark for Java - Windows/Linux (JBoss 7.4 Standalone + WAR File)

This document explains how you can run a Java application in JBoss and then use Invicti Shark to run an interactive application security testing (IAST) scan for that application.

Step 1: Prepare Invicti Shark for Java​

In this example, the test application is deployed to the following URL: http://127.0.0.1:8080/axexample-java/. In a production environment, you need to change this to the hostname you use for your deployment.

  1. Create a new target for your URL.
  2. Download Invicti Shark for Java from the Invicti UI and retain the Shark (IAST and SCA).jar file for the next step. In this example, the file is saved to C:\Shark\. Change the paths accordingly if you are using the Java IAST sensor on Linux.

Step 2: Deploy Invicti Shark and the required components​

  • Edit the contents of the %JBOSS_HOME%\bin\standalone.conf.bat file and add the following to the bottom of the file:
rem *** Shark settings
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dacusensor.debug.log=ON"
set "MODULE_OPTS=-javaagent:C:\Shark\Shark (IAST and SCA).jar

Step 3: Deploy your application and start your JBoss server​

  1. Ensure that your web application is deployed.
  2. From the command line, navigate to your %JBOSS_HOME%\bin folder, and launch JBoss.

Step 4: Test and scan your web application​

  1. Point your browser to your web application to confirm it's running as intended.
  2. Run a scan on your URL. The scan summary confirms that Invicti Shark was detected and used for the scan.
