CodeSeeker was donated to OWASP on November 19th by Butterfly Security. The Butterfly Security team will be continuing to manage this project and developing and enhancing Codeseeker as a community effort at OWASP. CodeSeeker is GPL and copyrighted to the FreeSoftware Foundation ensuring that it will always remain truly open source and free to everyone. This is a truly altruistic donation by Butterfly Security and we can¢t thank them all enough

CodeSeeker is written in Java and C/C++. It intercepts HTTP traffic off the stack (immediately after its been decrypted by SSL if its HTTPS), and applies a set of security rules to determine if the traffic is legitimate or malicious. CodeSeeker can either sit in a passive mode simply alerting your console of attacks (IDS) or in an active mode blocking traffic (firewall). You can see screenshots at

Version 1.0 beta will be made available to developers and beta testers in December. If you are interested in joining this project as a developer and have Java or C skills then please join the CodeSeeker mailing list and introduce yourself.
