Invicti IAST 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 IAST to run an interactive application security testing (IAST) scan for that application.

Step 1: Prepare Invicti IAST 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 IAST for Java from Invicti Platform and retain the iastsensor.jar file for the next step (iastsensor.jar is saved to C:\iastsensor\ in our example). Change the paths accordingly if you are using the Java IAST Sensor on Linux.

Step 2: Deploy Invicti IAST 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 *** iastsensor settings
set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Diastsensor.debug.log=ON"
set "MODULE_OPTS=-javaagent:C:\iastsensor\iastsensor.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 Target. The Vulnerability detail confirms that Invicti IAST was detected and used for the scan.
