Hey readers -

    I've been researching the topic of Web App Sec "Whitebox" testing =
and have seen some significant failures and problems with the general =
concept in modern implementations.  That being said, I've written a =
2-part series of articles that I thought I would ask for the community's =
response on.  Given that the first "problems" article has gotten some =
decent response I posted the follow-up tonight... if you have a minute =
and would like to provide me some feedback, please give this a read.

    Quick disclaimer, I work for HP ASC so the view in the "solution" is =
obviously working off of the technology advancements we're implementing =
(that being said, it's *not* a product plug, I promise).  Obviously the =
opinion here is mine, and no one else's... except where quoted.

    Again, I appreciate everyone's constructive feedback and welcome any =
discourse on the topic.  I honestly don't think we're giving this topic =
enough attention and hopefully this shines a spotlight.

Thanks!
