LAS VEGAS. Security researcher Arshan Dabirsjaghi (pic left) now has a new tool out that will enable users to ‘hack’ Java.

Licensed under the GPLv3 open source license and available at Google Code – Javasnoop is all about testing Java to see if it can be hacked – or so Dabirsjaghi explained in his Black Hat talk today.

“Javasnoop doesn’t creat new vulnerabilities,”  Dabirsjaghi said. “It just gives you a way to exploit vulns that were there before that you just couldn’t exploit before.”
